Butcher 5/0

[Dave Carne]

This is the Kelson version tied for a friend of mine on an original hook.
The head is a tad bigger than I would have liked - but the Butcher is notorious for this becuase of the shear quantity of wing material - amplified of course by the gossamer thread and herl.

Dave, Another fine tie, You are true master.

Dai.

It must be tough to keep heads down in size with such complicated winging on a fly.

Especially with herl over the wing base at the head.

A super fly despite your doubts on its head size.
