This is one of the flies that I have tied for an impending trip to N.Ireland to fish in the 2018 Commonwealth Fly Fishing Championships. My research shows that there can be Autumn hatches of caddis and occasionally olives and midge. Those sort of hatches often occur in relatively shallow water and often the fish are taking the emergers just as they are trying to break away from the surface.

This is what I came up with.

It's the wing half of a elk hair caddis or a Sedgehog type fly (hence the "Half") married into the body of a Dunkeld (giving me the "dunk")... anyway it deserved a name.
