Hi Jimbo, I think it will be the Admiral Nelson that you are referring to. As you probably know everybody on the Annan and the Nith are fishing them with great success. It became popular when Emily Barrow caught that 20lber at Hoddom last September ladiesfishing.co.uk/2010/09/13/20lb-salmon-by-emily/ and is also doing well for other people www.riverannan.co.uk/It was invented by David Nelson www.salmonfishingforum.com/forums/showthread.php?29772-river-annan and there was an article earlier in the year in Trout and Salmon. I don’t have the magazine to hand but basically it is a Willie Gunn tube with a bit more yellow and no black. Interestingly it has 3 Jungle Cock Eyes. Another fly that has done well for me this year on the Nith is a Willie Gunn Baxters Babe. Ron used to sell them at Helmsdale tackle but has none left www.helmsdalecompany.com/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=453 It is a mix of yellow and orange bucktail tied in bunches top and bottom of a plastic tube with some mirrorflash and crinkleflash. A large black hackle at the front, Jungle cock in the spaces between the bucktail and a brass conehead. This is my number one go-to fly when the Nith goes that horrible red colour after a rise. Fished off a Hover/Intermediate head with 5ft of fast sink Poly managed me one of my Springer's Earlier in the year at Blackwood. Hope this helps. Cheers Neil
