To supplement Alun Rees’ recent F Fly patterns, we have put together a video of this simple but very effective pattern.

• Hook: Any dry fly hook (I prefer down eye), size to suit the natural on the water
• Body: Tying silk (the choice is yours. The example shown is olive but primrose yellow is also a great colour for the Usk).
• Wing: 4 CDC feathers back to back.
• Head: Tying silk
