This is kind of the part two to Roger Woolley's "Compara Hackle" and also part two to Marinaro's Thorax Dun.
This is a dry fly idea from Datus Proper outlined in his book "What the Trout Said".
This is a low riding dry fly with a realistic large wing profile for selective trout on calm limestone/spring creeks. The advantage of the use of hackle tips and the 180 degree hackle is an easy to cast/land fly that will ride in the film, give a big wing profile and be strong and easy to dry with false casts for repeated use.
Enjoy!
