This is another Bob Wyatt pattern, the Deer Hair Sedge. Like the Dirty Duster that I did recently, another simple pattern to tie, but again its simplicity belies its effectiveness.
Bob lists several colour variations in his excellent book ?Trout Hunting,? this is I think his favourite.

Instructions assume right-handed tyers.
HOOK ? Kamasan B400 #14
THREAD ? Black Danvilles 6/0
BODY ? Seals Fur (70% Black and 30% Dark Claret, blended)
WING/HEAD ? Coastal Deer Hair.

STEP 1
            Attach the thread and wrap to the hook bend, keeping the tag-end intact.



STEP 2
           Apply the dubbing and wrap to form the body.



STEP 3
           Wrap the tag-end of thread to rib the body.



STEP 4
           Prepare, measure, cut and tie in the wing.  If you?re unsure of how to prepare the wing see HERE



STEP 5
               Whipfinish and detach the thread.



A drop of varnish and the fly is complete.
