Another beautifully tied fly, Scott. Thanks for posting all these new patterns.

Rather than trying to remember its name, I'll just call it a John Scott Special Nice job.

I think you’re a bit confused. John Scott hasn’t posted much here in a while and this is definitely not his fly; I found it on a Swedish site.

I have seen somewhere, where they tie up soft hackle dry flies. I tried some and they do work. The theory is that the soft hackle (tied in very sparsely at the front only) gives motion to the legs while the body hackle keeps the fly afloat. I think this pattern without the added weight would fit this category quite nicely. Glad you reminded me of them.

Sorry, Had another John Scott on my brain at the time. I meant you, as a joke. Thank for the correction.
