{{+1}}Gray duster – Chatto’s variant{{-1}}
{{start}}
The gray duster was one of the first flies I tied. It was at a fly tying course at Illawarra Fly Fishers in Wollongong and this fly was selected because of its simplicity and of course the fact that it works. Over time my tie of a gray duster has been corrupted to be a sort of melding of the gray duster that I was first introduced to and an Adams irresistible. The ginger and badger combinations for the tail and hackle have been stolen from the irresistible and the body has been changed to seals fur dubbing. The tie below is of that corrupted variant. The link to the fist gray duster I was introduced to is as follows.
