A great fly, I can do a full Season on the Welsh Dee just using the Baby Sun Fly, Grey Duster and Cul De Canon

A classic and traditional fly that gets overlooked in the rush to put a klinkhamer on the cast

Tie a few up in smaller sizes, always useful as a Black Gnat imitation (substitute the brown thread for Black black thread)
