i used a standard wet version of it too good affect in orkney a few times when fish were on chironomids and olives subsurface.I think that the standard wet fly covers both insect angles and thats why it was effective(Or maybe it was just luck and it looked like a beasty)

The version i have tied up and sent to steve for everyone is a palmered/bumble version that i reckon could be useful as a bob fly or middle dopper(testing it on you guys) :lol:

Its quite fishy looking in the bumble format and would probably do well too imititate any hatching dark coloured midge or olive(as its leggy and greeny black)

i would probably use the fly in medium/poor light conditions as its believed dark olive and natural fly colours work /fish better in this type of light.

cheers

I've got about 10 done so far - grabbing minutes when I can. Yet another claret thing- but a true wet.

Tied on a size 14 heavy hook, bidy dubbed with a mix of dark claret seal, and red flashaboo with a gold wire rib. Full soft hackle using hen grouse tips.

This is a variant of a fly I used a lot on WoL early last year. Then, I didn't have the flashaboo, and I used a brown hen hackle instead of the hen grouse. This one seems much better, and the hen grouse should give a fair amount of movement, with the flashaboo being eye-catching in heavier water.

Calling it 'The Tandoori', after my favourite part of WoL - Currie  :twisted:

I should have them all finished over the weekend - kinda better - got to spend most of next week in Leeds and Wakefield.
