Don't think you could call these dabblers but I was trying to add a bit of movement for a middle dropper, thinking of Lough Erne and Melvin, well basically anywhere there is a mayfly hatch.

Any suggestions???????

Behind the wing, there doesn't be too many but they are very very mobile with lightly coloured bars.

Thanks for the comments guys

Oakham,
The body black claret is Rod Tyes and the head hen pheasant is mine, I am looking forward to getting my mits on Saracens
