Hook: size 12-10 B175 Kamasan
Thread: Black twist thread
Rib: Flat mylar tinsel
Dubbing: Black blend dubbing
Legs: black daddy legs
Wing: CDC natural looped forward
Thorax: Orange spectra dubbing
Shoulder Hackle: Black hen hackle
When you tie in the CDC by the tips then add in the orange thorax and loop forward the CDC over the thorax.
This fly is a very versatile pattern you can pull in on intermediate lines to pick up fish on the emergers or you can fish it dry to represent the adult duck fly. I have also caught a lot of fish on this fly during the Hawthorn hatches and during the Autumn months when hoppers and daddies are on the menu. This is a real fish catcher of a lough fly and I hope you have as much success on it as I have.
