A classic very well done.

This is a pattern I tie (nowhere near as well!) and fish on regular occasion. Lack of good Snipe supplies leads me to using Starling instead. I must admit I do not have a lot os sucess with it for local trout.
Be interesting to see how this fishes for you..... might just be my shocking ties or presentation putting the locals off! :lol:
