ID for a flee please.

I discovered this in my (late) Father's box today; fishing it on an intermediate line with medium retrieve, it nailed 3 fish in succession.
Can any ID this for me please, or is it just one of his specials?
I'd like a few more for the winter league

Looks like a wooly bugger.

Not sure about a WB to be honest, there's no wool. It looks like the body is tied with a hearl and some sparkle through it.

Wooly bu99er it is then, apologies to Greenock for doubting

I'll have to try and tie a few of these myself

The point is in need of sharpening

None of my wooly buggers have wool mate

Body looks like peacock ice dub. Hackle the body then get in about it with a bit of velcro.

If they don't allow weighted flies in you're comp, I suppose you could use either a quick descent dubbing &/or some glister type material for the head.
