I've never heard that about the Wood Special. The Alexandra comes to mind as a fly which was allegedly banned in England because it was so effective.

My mistake, twice over. I was thinking of Dave Goulet's Moby Dick fly. But it was never banned. The guy who taught it to me probably said something like "it outta be illegal" and I changed it around in my mind.

Do you have problems with it spinning on the retrieve?

 

[TicTokCroc]

Heather nymph. I need a photo light box.

 

[RichS]

Do you have problems with it spinning on the retrieve?

No, but the fly is designed to be fished slowly, and that is how I have used it.

 

[jasmillo]

Simple, rustic, emergers. I’ve never tied them before but I wish I had a few of these in my box the last couple of weekends.

 

[Randy Taylor]

I do alot of free style tying.I enjoy
It when I have an Idea and put it together when creating a fly.
Seldom do I get what I start out with,but that's ok.
