Nice Scotfly! Just the kind of patterns that work well on many of our waters--simple and effective. I have had a couple of days this year when small and black saved the day. For a nice variation, starling hackle is a nice alternative to the peacock to give a little different profile.

Ooh.. very nice Dennis. Black works a treat here, and the added spice of a little peacock can't fail.
Nice beads too. Picked up some cyclops from Chris at Lathkill last week, dropped by whilst passing through Halifax. Super quality, very consistent through the pack. First time I've met him, a gent.

Away from home all week again - will watch from afar. :shifty:

Best,
Andy
