Not done one of these before but it was quite satisfying trying to get a neat body, ribs etc

thanks Mike.

I did fish a shop bought matuka many, many years ago one night on the river Cree when I went out after sea trout for the first time.

A shoal of finnock moved into the pool and I had fish after fish. I have never forgotten it - hence my inspiration for trying to tie one..
