Nice fly Richard.
Even today a top drawer pattern.
Often overlooked because of more modern CDC patterns shame as its still well up there mate.

I'd fancy my chances on most days to enjoy some sport with it. It is also easier to look after than many other dry flies.

Another one that needed a picture...

Now is the time to make sure you do some quite small ones, 16, 18 etc.

Finally found some golden badger hackle in the US. No stock anywhere, and no-one expecting before the fall. Stumbled across half a Hebert Silver cape, so snapped it up. Just arrived in the mail, so tried a few dusters in #18. Nice cape, I get 3 flies easily from one #18 hackle. Will try some Golden badgers next. Now if I could find a decent silver badger cape, my wish list would be emptier. Great SBS as usual Richard. Cheers!

That fly cannot fail to attract the attention of any fish eating olives!

Don't forget to tell us how you fare with it. (Oh and tie four more to go with it. 1 for the trees, 1 for the fish, 1 on your tippet, 1 in your box and 1 for the angler who comes over and says "My word! You are doing well! What fly are you using?")
