Generally the convention is that sea trout flies are tied sparsely, particularly the larger patterns tied on longshanks, waddies, tubes and snakes. The patterns that are more along the lines of traditional wets are more fully dressed.
Falkus was quite emphatic that the Medicine should be very lightly dressed.

“There is no more lovely country than Monmouthshire in early spring. Nowhere do the larks sing quite so passionately, as if somehow inspired by the Welsh themselves. There is a blackbird on every thorn and a cock chaffinch, a twink as they call him there, on every bush...... It moved me profoundly. I had been spared to see another spring, and I thank God for it.”
