Alder Fly

This is the Alder pattern in Roger Woolley's Modern Trout Fly Dressing from the Devon Wet Fly section.

Body: claret floss ribbed with a strand of cock pheasant tail.
Hackle: dark rusty blue dun cock

A very neat little tailess wet fly pattern. I use UTC 70d in "wine" as my thread to both accomplish the claret floss body but also to tie the fly and keep all slim.

Enjoy!
