Duckworth's Dargle Delight, by Tom Sutcliffe.

A well respected river dry, often used New Zealand style with a nymph suspended below it. Failry bounces down the fast water, and Should be of value on stillwaters too.

Hook 12-16
Thread  - Black
Tail  - Deer Hair (klipspringer specified for body and tail, but I used what I had and added some squirrel to the tail)
Body -  Spun Deer hair (again Klip is specificed)
Hackle - Ginger cock - I had to use furnace in the example.

The body should probably be clipped a bit tighter than I have managed, but the general idea is there.
