   Hi Bill,

   This style of fly is normally tyed on a tube which will allow you to tie on a treble, double or single depending on the rules on the river you are fishing or if there’s a catch and release programme on the water, but you could easily tye it on a single hook if you wanted. I have tyed some of these flies on large streamer hooks which look really nice..

   Thankyou for the kind words..

   All the best Davie

   Hi Davie.

   Great looking fly. I learned a lot from your methods for tying in material … different from what I have used. The fly looked a little larger than the flies that are traditionally fished for salmon over on this side of the Atlantic. The tubes that I tie tend to be on the larger size. Do you have a materials list for the pattern?

   Thanks,
   Brad
