Great fly Ruard. It has all of the features of a lethal pattern. I especially like the use of the floss with the dubbing blend.

I like the idea of varied behavior for each of the dubbing types in the body. That looks successful on several levels. I can see the use for Grey Duns, but I wouldn't neglect using this as almost any #16 Caddis emerger. That thickened body suggests a Caddis silhouette among other things. imho.

Sweet fly, Ruard,
yummy dubbing blend too

Nice!!

I really like the way that method makes the body look segmented!

Ruard,
Once again, I'm drawn to the wonderful body of this pattern. You are a wizzard with this type of tying. Great looking pattern! Size 16? Wow!

Hi Ruard,
very cool
From where on the bird do you take the starling hackle?

Andrew.

Thank you all for the nice words I appreciate them!!

The hackle is from 2 cm above the tail of the starling

Thanks Ruard - i am getting to really like the starling for a source of hackles that look to me like they are really going to come alive in the water.
