It looks a great fly, have you had much success with it? Will need to order some of those hooks from ebay or as I am not sure if I can get them here readily. What size do you dress them?

It's working better is slow water than my olive intruder thing, not as well swinging. Far less hangups dead drifting.

I have a big pack of Owner #1's (shoot me a pm with your address and I'll mail some off). Lot of different jig hooks available here in the all tackle store.

Took your fly out for a whirl about a month ago Eric, fished in high, slightly dirty water and had a few good bumps but no hookups - what's that about?! :p

In all serious though very impressed with the fly, only fished for a very short time that day after I had finished with a client so a few thumps is a good omen for things to come. Will need to tie some up myself! Or I'll just pinch Campbell's when he ties them :D
