Perfect Dun

No comments yet

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!

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
