Dark Red Tag

[Highlander]

A post earlier got me thinking about variants to standard dressings. Here is a simple Red Tag variant that has been good to me on wee burns. Nothing special just a Red Tag with a natural black black hen hackle.
Just a wee change now & again to standard pattern gives that wee bit of difference. See Green Tailed Kate posting.

This example tied on a 16 but 14s & 12s are useful too.

Not unlike the black version of the Ke-He!
I think the "blacking-up" treatment suits flies for fishing small burns with a lot of terrestrial action.

Nice picture too.

Pedantic of course, (it's the devil in me  :devil;) but I'd call it a Black and Peacock spider variation  :lol:

You say toe-mat-o I say toe-mate o.  It's my fly so I call it..... right
Black & Peacock variant indeed
:shock:
Unless anyone claims to have first tied it that is.
:lol:

I know this is a very popular variant of the B&P spider in Tasmania. I googled the Australian sites and found this:
