Gents,
Firstly is it still worth using this group anymore?
Maybe Usenet is a thing of the past?
Anyway, maybe Bill or some other fly tiers might be able to give me the
ingredients and instructions for this pattern which came up in
conversation with a Yorkshire friend of mine. Probably no good for us
southerners but my friend tells me he knew the originator and a little
gift of a copy would not go amiss.
Best wishes to all the old crowd and how about a gathering this year. Back
to Brenig?
Cheers,
Alec

Sorry Alex - never heard of it.

Can you give a detailed description, maybe then a similar fly may be
found. Sometimes flies are tied with a slight variation on a well known
pattern then given a new name.

E.G. a large hook - say #6 with a 4 " worm might easily be called Andy's
Fancy :-).........with a squirrel tail wing - a Dave's Delight!

Only joking Andy :-)
