I was wondering if anyone could post up a couple of recipes for me as the books i have seem to conflict one another.
The flies im interested are Doobry,GRHE and the invicta.
There seems to be so many diffrent tweaks i know it probably doesnt matter that much but i would be interested to see what diffrences other come up with.
I’ve not heard of the Doobry, so can’t help you there.
The Invicta is:
Tail: golden pheasant crest
rib : silver wire
Body: yellow seal’s fur
hackle: reddish brown, palmered along body
throat: English Blue Jay wing feathers (the blue ones)
wing : hen pheasant (ringneck) slips, tied low along the body (set in amongst the hackle)
head: red
I believe the GRHE is:
Tail: guard hairs from hare
rib : gold wire
body: dubbed hare’s mask, thicken around the thorax
wing: hen pheasant slips
pick out the hairs in the thorax area to produce legs and to support the fly, doing the job of a hackle.
I’m assuming you mean the traditional dry fly for the GRHE.

Those flies on Dancia are great i did notice the black pennell was even diffrent to what i would have thought its amazing the diffrence that others put in but call it the same fly i only noticed as its one of my favourite patterns and have researched it a bit but as they say each unto their own:D
