Disappointing Hans, very disappointing, not the fly, that's a beauty. No explanation of the name though!

Clyde style wet, Byron. Clyde style wets are generally fished in or just under the film, dead drift.

No Hans I hadn't made the connection. I don't know the Clyde as well as I should. Its a long way south of here.

Hans,
Do you fish this style much? In the US? In a hatch situation as a cripple?

I have no doubt, Alan, that you made the connection easily enough.

Clyde style wet - and Cora Linn the name of a waterfall on this river. The name appealed to me.
