These last ones are supposed to be big maggots. They were a special request, apparently people fish for herring with maggots. The top one didn't really work out, I was trying to make a big segmented body with twisted Antron. Not my finest work :-), but seems like they fit the bill.

Don't freak-out Marc... it's only a wee streamer! :D

The main river has closed until March 2013, but the source is open until Halowe'en.... and there's rumours of 3Kg wild browns. I'll be on the water from 6am tomorrow stripping #16 streamers slow and deep through the margins.

They are going for field testing this weekend. I doubt I could afford the tungsten or the postage to be honest to tie handfuls.....
