Very good job. I knew the originator of the Green Machine. This one is true to type.
Hi another good one for summer in thin water as described by Ally Gowans a few years ago in TS or FF/FT fishing in Ireland. His dressing was similar and fished wet on a long leader. No joy on rivers so far but a 4lber on a large one from Menteith a few years ago at Katie’s Brad,so always have a few, Mostly smallish in my box. Ha Ha yes a very messy job but Fun eh , please keep em coming,cheers.
Yep, Tied and fished this one a lot in Canada. Great pattern and produced a good many fish for sure. Nice job!
Love the trick with the tag GSP thread to tied down the hackle! Thanks!

Martyn I love your salmon flies - have you ever tied a Ness C fly I struggle to get the proportions correct and would love to see a version tied by yourself - any chance of a version?
