Ah, there you take me into uncharted waters 61. I googled it too I'm afraid. I think the book you might be looking for is '

Trout Flies of Stillwater

Trout Flies of Stillwater

', by John Goddard. 'The Pursuit of Stillwater Trout' was by Brian Clarke and although it mentions the fly it doesn't give a dressing that I can find.

I have the book at home and if no one gets the dressing I will post up later.

Mr. Midlander,
How would you rate these books, are either a must have read?
Cheers
