Is this a Turton pattern?

[Old Hat]

No, one of mine. I'm sure there's something similar out there. I've been tying a bunch to fill donation boxes for the expo's. This and the other recent patterns are for a box of small flies. Last year I was tying in Boise and gentleman commented that my flies were too big (mostly #14's ) So this year I decided to donate wee little wets. All #18 and smaller. This one is a #16 but is more like a #18 or #20 in size the gapes just wide.

Really like the wide gape on those hooks, never seen them here..... might be worth importing a few.

Nice design and colour choice.

Carl........."where do they find these people?" Gettin' to where they'll let anybody with the money in to a fly tying expo.
But like a fellow member said just today....."i like your style." Beautiful tye.

Another nice fly Carl, if somebody told me my #12,14 or16 fly was too big, my answer would be
in rather coarse scottish dialect, it is very useful for such purposes, alternatively I'd tell him to
go and tie some to his own pernickety specification.

Absolutely lovely. What a marvelous blend of colors, and the hook is perfect.

Nice combo with the plover. I really like that hook as well. Great pattern. The guy was right...size# 14's? (smiles)
