Default A few wets......
I had a play around with a few ideas last night and came up with these:

Claret dabbler

Rib: UTC wire Red

Midlander's Airehead
Hook: As above
Thread: UTC black
Tail: Pheasant tail dyed dark olive
Body: Mirage tinsel
Rib: Fine silver wire
Hackle: black hen

Alex (Midlander) devised this one for Malham. This is my take on it - somewhat heavier dressed than the elegant original.

This 'orrible looking thing accounted for a couple of nice fish at Stocks recently. I suppose it might be viewed as the 'gentleman's blob'.......

Excellent flies, try that sunburst dabbler with a full cloak at the head.

I have had excellent results with my depth dabblers over the last two seasons.
