Fly: André Brun, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: Curved shank hook
Thread: Brown 6/0
Weight: Lead wire
Gills: The Aura-technique
Abdomen: Olive dubbing
Thorax: Dark brown dubbing

Tying instructions:


  1. Wrap the lead and make a dubbing loop of the tying thread. Dubb an olive body 4/5 up the shank.

  2. The Aura-technique: Stroke the dubbing loop with a tacky wax. Make a ball of cutted and chopped antron fibers (4-5 mm. in length) and touch the threads with the ball. Twist the loop a couple of times and wrap it as a rib.

  3. Finish the rest of the fly with a dark brown thorax and a few soft fibers for the legs.
