Comments from other fly fishermen
A lightly dressed W.G. is a must for Scottish salmon fishers, not just for spring time it will work the miracle when all other tried and tested flies fail, a second Last Chance! I added a length of gold sparkler along with the yellow, gives just a bit more eye catching flash in the low springtime light. - Posted by Nic Evans on 09/08/2009
