Oops. The herl is not heron but is olive dyed goose herl. The original called for the heron but unlikely anyone will get any of that stuff now... The goose seems good enough.

Hi Johnno,
Nice flies. I have starling ( which I have used ) and dyed goose herl/heron sub in various colours ( which I haven't used yet ). I'll have to tie some of these.
Regards,
Jo
