Nice one. If I could fish with one fly all season it would be close to that, in various guises.

I might stick some in the swap but if I don't I'll send you some anyway if you like

Very nice! A pattern I should fish more! Size 12 - one for the dropper?

Yeah fished as a dropper in normal circumstances or fished on its own in some of the less lively pools that my own beat develops in very low water. At times such as this if you fish 2 flies you invariably catch bottom. Fish a single fly and these pools sometimes turn up fish.
