No comments yet

Materials Used and text from the book Let's Fish The Clyde by Robert C Sharp..

Hook, Fulling Mill All-Purpose Medium size 12
Tail, Dark Ginger Cock Fibres
Body, Dark Brown Peacock Quill or Pheasant Tail Fibre ribbed with fine gold wire.
Hackle, Dark Brown Partridge next the eye follwed by Dark Ginger Cock or Dark Olive Cock
This is a big fly with a wing span of 1 inch..
It hatches in flushes, which can appear twice in a day, each lasting for about 15 or 20 minutes. Trout will, however often ignore the floating dun and concentrate on the nymph, but a floating pattern should always be to hand..

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
