Really like this one. Nice subdued colours with the hint of red in the thorax and head. Local big brown trout would love this one.

Very effective look to this one. A winner for sure.

This would certainly take a top 5 position in my box. A row of these would make me feel better heading to the water. Beautifully dubbed.
