White or green poly yarn, burnt |

Note: I often add additional weight to this dressing under the body to get it as heavy as possible. Not a fly I actually fish very much, but in certain clearwatered rivers I often use it for dapping ?. It gives me great pleasure to lower a fly right down to a fish I can see and for this, the fly should be as heavy as possible.
