The pale mayflies of summer will soon replace the Mayfly and for that time in none too distant future I propose the following imitation:

 

 

The body is Pearsall's Primrose silk thread, well waxed and lightly dubbed with Mole fur (= the old)

The tail is Coq de León and the wing is Cul de Canard (= the new)

 

Cheers!

Thanks guys! Appreciate your kind comments.

 

I created the fly with a specific situation in mind - or more specifically a specific fish in mind. This Sunday I met a grayling that was rising about a four meters from me (about one and half rod lengths - that is darn close!). Grayling are not spooky in general and this one was not spooky at all. During the course of about a half an hour I showed him the contents of 2 fly boxes and he showed no interest in any of them, all the time sipping something from the film. I thought this one just might do the trick where others failed...

I am jealous Jindra

 

Good luck or 'Petri Heil' (German for tight lines/good fishing)

You realise we expect photo evidence that you cracked the code on this one?

Go get him :boxing:

Ha ha, Petri Heil = Petrův zdar, we say the same thing over here (after all, we are next door neighbors)

 

Cheers!
