size 10 in wader boots, though trying to trip me up by laying your rod on the ground in front of me may invalidate the cover ;D (I think you were just trying to prevent me getting to the river  ) |

hi there brendan its a salar 9. glad you like it. Using the orange badger was easky's idea, i think it transforms the fly. lite brite is well worth a go. if you dont rib it it frays and mingles with the tail. like seal's fur it also gives your flies a strong profile. can be good in fast water tied up to 3". here's a silver one a 9  Thanks for tying some of these for me Ross. Had a sparkling 15lber dripping with lice today on one of these. I would strongly recommend thios for use in peaty water. |

I strongly recommend you contact MacD, if you want to catch a fish imho, and acquire some of his gold cascades,they just come alive in the water and do the business;) |

One on a salar 9 [a href="  "] [/a][/quote] Am sure it was this fly Ross that got me 6 fish today to 28lbs.As previously posted this exact fly has been catching tremendous numbers on our beat of late when given a swim. ;D Cant thank you enough for your tying of these cascades and the Maggies shrimp you designed for me has done very well,early days but the results have been really good,really really good |

Well done that is first class fishing in anyone's book. |
