Claret and Grouse
I shrunk a salmon fly pattern down to trout size. Just because I like to do that sort of thing and it looked like a nice trout pattern as well.

Yes, that's a lovely little fly. 
I like these up-eyed hooks - they always make the fly look like it is rather elegantly swimming the breast-stroke! lol
