Stoker 3rd class. The star above the badge indicates this . The stripe on his left arm indicates 4 years good conduct (from the age of 18 ie mans time) If he was a leading rate there would be an anchor over the good conduct badge. The stripe (badge) on his left arm isnt too clear if in fact it is a badge. If no badge this would indicate he was under 22 years of age as GC badges were awarded every 4 years from the age of 18.

If you want to buy ,go on the site and go;- shop-trout flies-long shank nymphs then menace long shank and it shows various colours for sale UK 21 pence each. Tight lines.

If you go back to the website and click on favourite trout flies it lists the Menace and a variant, Make some up yourself.

You are right of course Corydoras, they is an Admiralty pattern and they are used in conjunction with a bottle screw, and then can be called a bottle screw slip. On guard rails they are usually moused. Just to add, for Judy the slip in the piccy is through a shackle and not a tulip. Cant find a picture of a tulip! [ 08.

A tulip is found on the end of a wire guard rail for example where it joins to another guard rail via a Senhouse slip, making it easy to lower the guard rail. The tongue of the slip passes through the eye of the tulip.

In the Navy they were known as the Herbaceous Border.

Ahem! 2-1 ?! Do it at home.

Thanks Duncan, cofirms what I understood the case to be and as Falkus put it, quote;- It must be remembered however, that physiologically the sea trout is an anadromous brown trout wearing its migratory coat. End of quote.

Dace are one species that come to mind for dry fly. Use a small fly and be ready for fast takes,get onto a shoal and you can have lots of fun. Chub is another good taker of dries, use bushy patterns. For perch use fry patterns(Wets)and lure type flies. If you have Grayling then dries,wets and nymphs are all good,depending on conditions. Have fun.

Good tip, mine works on all surfaces tried but it is certainly smoother on the paper. Thanks Chesters.
