Nondescript often equates versatile and effective. This has to be a good thing, no? :cool:

I do wonder what the good dame would make of that fly Hans. Her selection, I am informed, didn’t have any wound hackles. As for me that looks perfect for the brown trout lochs. As I’ve just resolved to fish them rather than “bathe” in them next time out I may just tie some up. Did you make your dubbing brush?

Very nice. I bet that would be serve as a good March Brown emerger, Hans.

Hans,

Yes…No…well actually, I don’t know…but based on my gut feel alone it looks like it might catch fish pretty well! It just plain looks fishy to me.

I think Dame Juliana would approve.

Might that, as dressed, be a wet fly for a Calibaetis??
