This is a dabbler pattern, born from the Irish loch tradition that fishes a wet sometimes like a dry. I had a day on The Fork in the park, where the trout were being very selective- somewhat unusual for this delayed harvest water. After getting little action on the usual suspects, I dug deep into the box and pulled out a Peter Ross wet fly, gave the hackle a bit of floatant, and finally took a nice brown that was not a recent stocker. Back to the shop, I added some variants to the original pattern, subbing the tailing for ringneck pheasant, the hackle for double partridge soft hackle wraps, and the thorax for spectra ice in attractor colors. I fished these flies as a flymph the next day with expected and excellent results. If the initial landing was not a take, the next couple twitches would get a slurp. These make a great addition to your box when nymphing fails to produce.
