hi steve, very interested in your ammonite nymph. Only discovered its 'your fly'. Never actually seen one in reality, I have made poor attempts at dressing one. It looks a beautiful creation.
Can I purchase some, I live in Ireland And mainly fish the river suir. I,m trying my hand at czech nymphing.
Regards Seamus Barry, Co. Tipperary.
