Grayling Dry Flies

[danielp]

The vast majority of my grayling this year have been caught on tungsten covered bomb shells that plummet to the depths. However on the occasion the ladies saw fit to show themselves at the surface one of these two always seemed to find itself on my leader.






Any comments and criticisms are greatly appreciated, always looking to improve my standard patterns and hopefully my tying.

Nice flies Dan. Intrigued by the first one, is it a Caddis emerger representation? What's the dubbing used on the body?

[danielp]

Just a generic emerger really Nick, although it does work during caddis hatches I mostly use it as a searching fly or if I cannot see what is hatching. The body is dubbed mole fur with the olive thread wound back up through it for a bit of segmentation.
