{{+1}}Dunkeld – Chatto’s fuzzeled variant{{-1}}
{{start}}
The Dunkeld is certainly one of my top 2 or 3 middle dropper flies for lock style fly fishing. Until mid 2012 I was using a version of the Dunkeld that had a hackle Palmered along the body as in the original. At that time I was experimenting with "fuzzeled" bodies an an alternative to bodies with a Palmered hackle and applied that technique to this fly with immediate success. So much so that I don't tie the Palmered hackle body version any more.
See Dunkeld - hackled as in original tie.
