Hi Steven,
I found the following version, which might be of interest to you:
I can’t recall the book I’ve copied this information from though:
Dressings by Dr. Edwin Pryce-Tannatt
Dr. Edwin Pryce-Tannatt was born in 1881. He was a doctor of medicine and the editor of Salmon and Trout Association magazine. In 1912 he changed careers by accepting an appointment as the Inspector of Salmon Fisheries in the board of Agriculture and Fisheries, where he distinguished himself as an early conservationist and the sponsor of several important pieces of legislation to preserve Salmon and freshwater fisheries. He retired in 1946. He lived until 1965. He authored one other book, “Meditations of a Middle Aged Angler” published during the second world war. Also his lectures on Fish Passes (fish ladders) were published in 1937.
It then goes on to list all of his dressings for trout flies. Here’s what he has for the GRHE:
7 Gold-ribbed Hare’s Ear
Hook Nos. 14 & 16. Tying silk primrose yellow. Tail, strands from a cinnamon turkey tail’s feather: body, fur from a hare’s ear ribbed with narrow gold ribbon tinsel: hackle a light honey dun cockerel’s hackle: wings, from a cock’s starling’s secondary quill (the original instead of a hackle has the hare’s fur picked out at the shoulder to represent the legs).
And, since I have them all, here are all 48 of his dressings (including an interesting variation of the Water Cricket, of which Pritt’s version is a favorite of mine)
