“I really did not want to tie this, well certainly not #16! My poor old peepers cannae take it……lol.

I was asked by a few folks to tie it as I would fish it so here you go, I would use this in #14 – #18 and be happy that it will do a job for me. I call it the unsinkable because everything that I have lashed to the fine wired Hanak H130 naturally floats. That coupled with the treatment it gets before going in the fly box make it an extremely robust pattern in any kind of water.”
