Back to learning the classics - or modern classics in this case.
Hare's Lug & Plover
Don't go looking for this in Courtney Williams' dictionary...
This is Roger Fogg's modern classic. Details here, for those who don't know the story:

That story kinda makes me smile...

Lovely little fly, GJ.
Edit - I just followed your link and read the background on the pattern. Enjoyable read.
I received Fogg's new book as a Christmas gift from my wife. Great book with lots and lots of history and background on similar patterns.

Hi,
I've read extracts on amazon and it does look very good.
I have it on order from my local fly fishing shop, and the guy who owns that is mates with Roger Fogg, so I am waiting in the hope of getting a signed copy. He wrote the forword to the book I am given to understand.... shameless name-dropping or what?
