I gave this fly this name because it is special for the Rudd and Roach here in the Netherlands.
Hook: Drennan Super specialist # 10 (this hook looks a #14)
Thread: Sheer 14/100 yellow
Hackle: Furnace hen hackle
body: dubbing brush of red copper wire and dubbing: hare mask 40%, silk dark green 40%, silk orange 20%.
This is the skin, I bought it last week in my local fly fishing shop.
Same fly but with a black hackle from the same furnace skin.
R&R wet
R&R black wet
Two wet and one dry.

Man, that looks great wet--I've always admired your wire dubbing brushes.

Great flies, Ruard. Like CB, I think your dubbing brushes are amazing.

Ruard, Howdy;
Wonderful, beautiful flys..
I really enjoyed the sequence of photos,

The wet one with the wire showing is outstanding !

Very festive Ruard! Did you plan it that way?!?
Any number of panfish would greedily snap that puppy up here as well. They look great! And the photos are wonderful.

Wonderful flies and photos, Ruard! I love how the wire core becomes much more prominent when the fly gets wet. I love your dubbing brush flies.

That is a really nice Furnace skin Ruard, the flies are pretty good too.
Roger Woolley gives a nice little collection of Chub and Dace flies at the end of his book,
'Modern Trout Fly Dressing' 1932/1952.

Donald - I find your comment "Chub and Dace flies" very interesting. I have never heard anyone ever mention flies specifically for these fish. Is there any differances in the way the flies are designed? I imagine they need to be small flies. Does the book mention anything about eating these species? Were they being fished for as food, or to then be used as bait? Like I said, very interesting.
