Looks fairly interesting. A bit "grubby", with a sparse wing of what is presumably boar, and tied on a bottle tube. The picture was not clear enough to properly make out the full pattern. Does anyone have the recipe for this fly? Anyone try it? I'm also looking for a recommendation on a good shop to order bottle tubes from. Suggestions appreciated. Much thanks!

You may have to save the attachments into paint then jack up the sizes, as these were scans...hope this works THE REAL KEY TO THE PATTERN IS USING BOAR BRISTLE for antenna and splay them out so they pulse in the water and don't matt down Cheers Paul Here is the first page pbp1.JPG Click for a larger image  Description: Last edited by Norseman on Wed Dec 14, 2005 10:41 pm; edited 2 times in total Back to top Norseman Par Joined: 21 Jan 2005 Posts: 34 Location: British Columbia Posted: Wed Dec 14, 2005 10:36 pm    Post subject: Page 2 Here is page two of the pot bellied pig pbp2.JPG Click for a larger image  Description: Back to top Norseman Par Joined: 21 Jan 2005 Posts: 34 Location: British Columbia Posted: Wed Dec 14, 2005 10:37 pm    Post subject: Page Three pbp3.JPG Click for a larger image  Description: Back to top Norseman Par Joined: 21 Jan 2005 Posts: 34 Location: British Columbia Posted: Wed Dec 14, 2005 10:38 pm    Post subject: Page 4 pbp4.JPG Click for a larger image  Description: Back to top Norseman Par Joined: 21 Jan 2005 Posts: 34 Location: British Columbia Posted: Wed Dec 14, 2005 10:38 pm    Post subject: And a couple variations Pot Belly Pigs.JPG  Description:  Filesize:  32.48 KB  Viewed:  9008 Time(s) Back to top fisshman26 Egg Joined: 21 Nov 2004 Posts: 2 Location: BC Posted: Sat Dec 17, 2005 5:23 pm    Post subject: Hey Paul, Can you tie me a couple dozen of those??????
