Whirling Blue

[zonnkers]

I recently attended a Guild meeting where there was a talk on the River Darenth (kent) and 1 of the flies mentioned in the history of the river was a Whirling Blue, now I am assuming this was a tying to imitate the Iron Blue Dun and as I have fishing on the river I would like to tie some of these to use next May so has anyone got the original dressing for this fly?
