does anyone have a pattern for the above fly, i remember it having a gold body and peacock in the wing but other that that i am stuck!
Not one I am aware of but the fly portrayed is indeed the KE-HE (Kemp & Heddle) as col correctly pointed out.
Originally tied for Loch Harray to imitate a bee I am told.
I have silver tipped version that can be useful on it's day.
