Body ribbed with gold wire then followed with a claret hen cape hackle, finishing off with a Brown Partridge hackle from the back. Comment – this fly was created by A Courtney Williams and was one of his favourites. He fished it dry on rivers and lakes but many have fished it as a wet pattern and done well. Years ago I used to fish Alwen Reservoir on Denbigh Moors and fished this fly with much success. [Note – the original dressing had a claret seal’s fur body ].
