Ran across this one while looking for some info on the Kite dry fly. Pretty cool looking Welsh pattern; Hans has a great video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtcA...layer_embedded




hook - Mustad 94840 #12
thread - MFC 6/0 purple
tag - tying thread
tail - bronze mallard
rib - x-small wire gold
body - bronze mallard
hackle - hen dun (original calls for Andalusian dun, of which I definitely have none)


Regards,
Scott

Lots of views, Scott, but no comments. Surely it is not a too alien a pattern to scare some North American trout? :cool:

Cheers,

Hans,

With all the buzz for flies like the Purple Haze, I'd think trout would give it a look. Forgot to include this version; proportions look more in balance on the shorter-shank Mustad 3399A
