Cheers lads. They are for loch/stillwater fishing for rainbows and browns over here. Can't beat a dabbler in a nice wave.

First class. May the waves keep rollin!

wot Oi found on a UK site:
The Dabbler has now spawned a whole series of flies from the original tied by Donald McLearn. I think it would be true to say that the Claret version is probably the most popular. There are no hard and fast rules with Dabblers, as they can be dressed in a variety of styles and fished in a variety of styles. The original purpose of the Dabbler however is in front of a drifting boat in a good wave.
The Doobry is a Stan Headly creation that favours bright days and peat stained water. It can also be useful on Sea Trout and Salmon lochs.
The Cruncher is a totally different animal. This is more nymph than wet fly. Again there is a vast array of variations and suitable ways to fish them. My experience has been that they are best on a floater or intermediate, twitched back slowly through a ripple.
