Re: Edson Tigers
I've had some success here with both, the light and dark Edson Tigers, on local brookies. Looking at the flies I always thought they should have their names reversed, the light being the yellow bodied fly and the dark, the peacock herl body. I was able to secure some of the brass Edson cheeks from a forum member and then found them at a local shop. Beautifully dressed examples, as always.

Re: Edson Tigers
I’d love some cheeks. Anyone know where they can be sourced?
