I was attracted to this fly because it is made of two of my favourite fly tying materials UV Ice dubbing and CDC.
It has looked like a winner since I first saw this fly and it has not let me down.
Designed by, as I understand it, Craig McDonald it is a very popular fly in Europe and fast developing a following in Australia and New Zealand.
I generally fish my 2 fly trout leader when fishing rivers and more often that not this fly will get a swim at some time during every session.
