Default Cushty dabbler

I feel slightly more confident in calling this a dabbler after getting some hints from Scratch earlier today so it should be fairly safe I hope and maybe tickle a few trout teeth aswell. Tied on a kamasan B175 size 10.

Thanks for looking and all comments welcome.

And so you should... because it is one. A ripper too. Are you sure you're colour blind? That's a mighty fine blend you've got going on there. Top notch mate.

What a stunning looking fly. Lovely job.

I've never fished a Dabbler in my life but after seeing that and reading Scratch's recent article, I'm going to have to give one a go.

Stunner Mark, well done, I've got a question on dabblers - When I tie them i just get two slips of maallard and tie one on the top as a wing and one as a beard, when i see a lot of irish tyers and dabbler experts they all "cloak" any tips on how to cloak them?

As Scratch has said that is some fly for someone who is colour blind. A cracker.

Let yourself go on some crazy coloured lures, that would be great to see
