"The Ace of Spades" was originally named by the late U.K. pro-tyer, Dave Collyer, The dressing is. 4/10 l.s. hook, blk thread, dressed Matuka style, with 2 pairs black cock or hen hackles (back to back) over a black chenille body ribbed with silver oval tinsel. A "crown or overwing" of bronze mallard fibres with natural guinea fowl false hackle. This can be weighted &/or beaded if desired & has taken a lot of fish since it's inception back in the 1960's when it was first published in the now de-funked "Angling" magazine where Dave had a monthly column. It was also in his first book "Fly Dressing"
