This
fly was a one of those end of evening flies that
appears from whatever is left from the evening being
incorporated into a fly. However, on this occasion
it resulted in my most successful fly ever. I have
no idea what the fish take it for or why it is so
successful but if this fly is in a team of three,
in any position, this fly will take the fish. Accounting
for over 1000 trout per season for the last three
season it's responsible for 80% of the Brown trout
I catch.
Effect

Absolutely
no idea. It just works.

This is important. It must be this particular dubbing.
Tying
Method.
It
couldn't be simpler
1)
Start the thread and wind to the back of the hook.
2) Tie in 3-4 partridge hackle fibres as a tail.
3) Dub the hairs ear dubbing onto the thread and
wind the dubbing up to the eye creating a fairly
slim body
4) Tie in the partridge hackle by the tip having
stroked the fibres out.
5) Wind two turns of hackle and tie off in the usual
manner.
