a little olive pattern ive tied tonight for start of season.
im going to try it as a wet pattern and fish it in the top foot of river for first half of season.going to tie half a dozen which will take hours as i tie so bloody slow
nothing complicated but for olives, which seem to be around early part of season on rivers,thought it a good place to start.
hook: kamasan B100 size 14
thread: 8/0 uni in olive
rib: uni soft wire size small in orange
thorax:hareline hares ear plus in natural
hackle:barred ginger indian cock cape
leckie, ive been watching a guy called davie mcphail on youtube.
think he is from your neck of woods? anyways, if your just starting your fly tying he is a very good person to watch and get to grips with your tying.
