The sparkling trailing shuck makes this pattern a stillborn or cripple mayfly, making it easy pickings for feeding trout.

Tying thread: Sheer 14/0 Grey
Wing: Fine short winter deer
Trailing shuck: Z-Lon Brown & Yellow mixed
Body: Superfine dubbing

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.
