Thread - Purple Pearsalls Gossamer Silk
Tail - Honey or Rusty Dun Cock Fibres
Rib - Fine Gold or Copper Uni Wire
Body and Thorax - Grey Turkey or Heron Sub
Hackle, Honey or Rusty Dun Cock
Davies preferred type of whip finish tool can be found HERE!
All of the materials needed to tie this fly are available from Glasgow Angling Centre - if you need any help finding them or choosing substitutes we will be more than happy to help!
