A classic river wet fly from the UK.
One of my all time favorite wet flies. A fantastic combination of colors, a classic shape and outline, fish attracting ingredients, and above all a couple centuries of proven worth.
A hackle from a "salmon hen neck" provides the collar on this fly, providing both color and excellent mobility.
