FlatzFatz 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2010 Andy, This is the same fly that has caught 90% of my fish this year...not an original pattern, just a variation on several. Still have your addy from your swap, will see what the big bend fish think :cheers: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
