I like these type of patters. With a twist. Don't know about the Turton guy. Will check it out.

And the hook is new as well. Been looking for straigt eyed Mustad.

Thanks gentlemen, it is a little festive Mark.

Hi Stendalen, here is a link to Turton's flies on Donald's site. http://donaldnicolson.webplus.net/page472.html

The hook is a little older Mustad.

I have a box of those hooks, I was going to give them away, now maybe I'll keep them.

I love them for a heavier hook.

i've got lots of those Mustad 3366 hooks.........it's a great hook. They sell 'em at Cabela's. Some guys actually cut the eyes off of those and do MOM flies on 'em with snelled mono or gut "lengths" attached for that classic old fashioned look. Great (yet very inexpensive), hook for MOM flies.
