Thats a great looking fly... Do you still fish that the same as a GRHE or use any different techniques?

It is an emerger, at times when I have fished it, I used some Loons hydrostop rubbed into the wing. and with a static drift for stillwaters and a ddift for streams and rivers.

I tied a couple for Andrew, 4 x #16 and 4 x #12

and he had some good fishing on the #16's.

I next want to work some cdc into it as an underwing, this should give me better floating abilities

good fly Freddie w;k

Worked well when I added floatant to the wing and fished it like a klinkie, dead drifting in the stream.

I like the look of those olive flies in the second row from the right, at the bottom. Very lekker!

 :tkx:  Surprisingly enough the white ones above them got me 4 in a row above 2kg's two trips back.  Size 18's no less. I was quite surprised.
