Note: The story behind this is as follows; I could not buy Speckled hen wing quills anymore so decided to use Cock Pheasant centre tail fibres instead. I showed the fly to Hans de Groot, he looked and said....Alice, it's too untidy, it will never work' . I went ahead anyway and in that first year I made 800 of them and sold the lot. I kept them in a large coffee jar;-) I haven't stopped making them since....1992 ....and make them in ten different body colours. |
