I use a very similar fly for a long time for grayling. Some time I tie it with a red tail using fine wool or other similar material, on a 200R hooks. It is very comfortable, easy to tie and extremely successful on a north-west rivers of Russia and Scandinavia.
I have a metz cape that is black , or so I thought , when under certain light it shows up like a medium olive , its kind of off putting , would this bother you if you were to tie say a black pennell with it ?
I realise that this is a variation of Fratnic's F-Fly but I always understood that the original only involved thread for the body and that it was Marc Petitjean who first introduced wrapped CDC for bodies.

It’s simple perfection. Thanks for another must have caddis.
Hi Davie,

Stunning davie simple and effective everything a fly should be tks 😊
What is the colour exactly? grey, brown-greysh ( so called "natural")? Beautiful, anyway. Thanks.

I can think of a few ways you could fish this fly, I tie a similar version used as a diving Caddis!
Thanks so much Davie, you're the best😊

I would never have dreamed of using cdc for a stonefly! Great looking fly Davie. Definitely a few of these for the box😀👍
Looks like a great fish catcher pattern Davie…thanks for sharing
Boy, if you leave off the tail and add some wood duck horns, it might be an excellent caddis pattern.
Thanks for the pattern. Novice friendly and easy on those of us without a huge selection of materials.
Is that an exacto knife handle with a needle stuck in it for a dubbin needle?
Big fan of this fly – thanks davie
