Default Infallible

Another simple dryfly to tie and one that I havn't yet tied until now, the Infallible which uses a dark blue dun hackle and the same for the tail although I have used just dun and a lighter dun for the tail so mine would be a variant I suppose. The body is mole dubbed onto claret thread and there's also a tag of claret thread, I would have preferred the claret thread showing through more so more sparsely dubbed next time. A very useful effective fly for the box. Tied on a bl103 size 14.

Thanks Spencer, a size 20 would look good but don't think my dun hackles go that small though but if I get my scissors out

Nice fly, Mark. Should imagine it,ll do well in an olive hatch, too.
