JanBoy 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2015 Hello This might sound really silly but before I started fly tying I could swear I was sold a black dry fly with only dubbing, it was just shaped few different ways and sizes. But it was a killer fly caught every time. My question being has anyone ever seen a fly like this or is it possible? It didn't have any wings on it as I know other patterns like black spiders and stuff. Thanks in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are people that say if your only gonna ty a fly in one colour, make sure it's black! I don't know what the fly is you are asking about is? But a allblack anything is sure to catch something!

JanBoy 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2015 Thanks for the replies I think KOKOEK9 hit it on the head it did look a black ant with the body I.E the two blobs close together only they where dubbing not thread, I agree with you there it was very effective but I gave it to another lad who was struggling to catch, so now I need more haha.
