- Notes
- A useful addition to any angler’s fly box. Hailing from Ireland as the name suggests, this fly is equally at home taking trout, sea trout and salmon.
- On the larger patterns, you can palmer a black cock or hen hackle down the body. You can also add a hackle of black hen at the head prior to adding the blue jay.
