This fly has been good to me since I started tying it about 5 years ago. It has evolved from something pretty scrappy into quite a pretty fly courtesy of Davy Wotton.
I tie it in 14s and 16s, mostly with the small Ultra Wire you see here but originally it was tied with Brassie Wire and it would sink fast.
The Red/Yellow was my first combination but the Green Yellow I probably fish more often in this area.
Hook: TMC 102Y or wetfly hook 14- 16
Thread: UTC 70 color to suit
Body: 2 strands of small Ultra Wire.
Thorax: Davy Wotton Prism Dub peacock.
Hackle: Partridge
