Hi,

I was just playing at the vice and put this together, which I was pleased with. It's a fairly basic wet-fly construction, though I don't know if it's an official "pattern". The dressing is :

hook: wet fly, size 12
thread: Uni 8/0 Olive (waxed with bee's wax)
tail: golden pheasant tippets
body: fibres from a golden pheasant body feather (yellow)
rib : gold wire
thorax : olive wool dubbed
wing: cock ringneck pheasant quill slips
hackle: snipe

I should have, but didn't, put some cement/glue down before wrapping the PP fibre body as these tend to be a bit on the fragile side and trout teeth can cut them easily. Still, they have a great colour to them so I use them for such things.
