Morning Gillage - I suppose we could call it the SSH! Inspired by a post in the step by step by @SBPatt tying the Rance's Gypsy King. The differences are: I only tied it one set of double legs, Glued the tail to the peacock herl, green hackle, and most noticeable would the folded head. I wrapped some black cactus dub to fill under the head. It sure looks like a small mouth would eat it for breakfast though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
