Default Claret Softwing
This took a few fish in late spring last season , tied after I found a number of claret spinners in a few trout that i pumped.

Hook: Kamasan B980 14
Thead: Pearsalls Scarlet or Claret - both worked
Rib: Fine Gold
Wing: 6 or so waterhen covert feather fibres or starling back feather fibres on the scarlet version , 6 or so jackdaw neck fibres on the claret version.
Thorax: a small ball of natural mole
Fishing: Upstream preferable for this style
