Hares Lug & Cree
Many years ago i used to use a pattern for the Grannom hatch similar to the Hares Lug & Plover - as a lowly undergrad, I didn't have the funds for a Golden Plover skin so i used a well marked under covert from a Woodcock. I still haven't got the Plover Skin so I messed around with the soft hackles down the side of a Cree cape.

A suitable sub I'd say, especially if the Cree is anywhere near being as supple as plover.

Re: Hares Lug & Cree
Thanks gents. The Cree is quite fine compared to the plover but it is quite soft and pliable - should get a bit of movement in the faster pools.

Handsome indeed! The Cree hackle compliments the body so well.
I prize cree hackle just as much as golden plover hackle. Two of my all time favorite materials.

Re: Hares Lug & Cree
Great pattern! The material choice makes a very nice caddis pattern.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

I could see it previously, not now. When I right-click on 'image' and try to show the photo I'm taken to another forum with this message: "Apologies! This forum is closed for essential upgrade. Back at 12.00hrs (GMT) 2nd February 2018".Theroe wrote:
