Aura Larva - a czech variation

[AndrÚBrun]

A czech variation from my vice.
Not a new fly - this has been around for years, and was first called "Aura Larva" in the magazine "Flugfiske i Norden" (Flyfishing in Scandinavia) in 1997 I think when I wrote an article there.
So here is the czech variant.

Hi. The song in TB3 - Iceland is from Helen Bøksle.
PS On the photo it seems to be some dust on the hook point or something.

Ahh, I was too quick, and left out what really makes the fly.

The fine DuPont/ Aunt Lydia- type.
