Black Zulu and Londons west end

I to am a fan of this fly ,works wet and dry in many sizes.
Shame your trip down lower regent st did not take you a few hundred yards further ,you would have hit farlowes which tackle and feild sports is a much better stocked shop.not a inexpensive shop but well run and generally helful crew.
