Nice, only saw one yesterday. Dressing?

I don't think the dressing matters that much, a small greewells or Adams works just as well. The above uses a grizzle hackle  for tail & hackle dabbed with a blue pen, dun Aero wing, Adams grey superfine dubbing and a red spot added at the tail end of the body with a red pen. A small black gnat pattern works too. I like using grizzle hackles they break up the fly, to my eye anyway. I think with Iron Blues size is the most important thing, the naturals are very small flies compared with say LDOs

The unsinkable Rubber Long Legs.  Bit early for daddies, but I had an empty corner in the dry box.

Thanks Dave.  Sorry about the pic quality - I'll stop using my phone as a camera now and go back to my compact to improve things.   :)
