Thanks chaps, I appreciate the thumbs-up.

As Kev knows I've not been tying long [or fly-fishing for that matter] and, for my sins, have never fished north of the border, ...yet.

Travelled the world, but never set foot in Ireland, to my shame.

But the armoury is coming together, and I'll use what's left given to me to explore these sceptered isles we inhabit, and hopefully fool a fish or two.

:wine:

Appreciate the comments, it was a back to front tie. Started with a bit of BM and worked forward from there with what was lying around on the desk.

Could have been worse though Stan. It was destined to become a booby. I hear the Orkney fish love 'em :D :wine:
