This is a variant of a Shetland fly that was inspired by the Hamill's Killer streamer from New Zealand. The colour combinations make for a nice bumble that's ideal for wild fish whether it's on a peaty hill loch or an irish limestone lough at mayfly time. You won't go far wrong with these in your box.
