This is one of our own variations of Cameron Chapman’s Steil Blue, which has been used to great success on the Ashiesteil beat of the river Tweed.

The Franc N Snaelda bright red conehead set this fly off perfectly.

Ashiesteil is one of the most productive upper Tweed beats with the top Ghillie in Davy Prentice always keeping rods right on the best flies to suit the conditions.
