Mohican Mayfly

Fly: Thomas Züllich, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: Partridge CZF barbless
Thread: Gordon Griffith's super fine 14/0
Tail: Water buffalo hair
Extended body: Closed cell foam, ribbed with thread
Wing: Deer hair
Thorax: Olive dubbing
Sides: Closed cell foam
Hackle: Brown & light dyed dun whiting rooster
Note: I find this Oliver Edwards pattern very nice. It looks great and is very sturdy.

Certainly not an every day fly, but if this day comes where one has large mayflies on the water you don‘t want to be without this.
