“I simply like these flys! They are great for carp, I find at least. Plus, and I haven’t really explored this enough you can hang a nymph underneath using the tippet ring incorporated on the Klink hammer bend of the hook. It has a great rainbow coloured dubbing on the shank of the hook and a beautiful darker thorax. It’s simply a great fly.”
