Another experimental tying (for me at least, they may not always be original). I picked up some “summer duck” dyed flank feathers from Cookshill at BFFI in 2016 but have not used them until now. To my mind this has all the characteristics of an Invicta-style sedge pattern, though only time will tell if the trout think the same.
