A Black Fly

By Martin Joergensen

A small black night fly I've had little experience fishing with this fly which is quite recent in my collection. It has all the characteristics of a good night fly, it's fast and easy to tie and durable too. It should be a fly worth having in you box. This fly has several versions. It was originally made to use some Partridge Dubbing twists that I had. The first fly looked as the one in the center below utilizing the twists and chenille. Later incarnations had dubbing heads which give a better and smoother head. The latest version has eyes beneath the dubbing resulting in a very good small fish imitation as seen to the right. The addition of a real hen hackle (or rather Hofmann Chickabou - my new favourite material) has added further to the fly. Hook Straight eye, 2-4, Partridge John Holden or Kamasan B840 Thread Black Body Black Partridge Dubbing Twists or plain dubbing Rib (If dubbing is used) Copper wire Tail/back Black flash straws Hackle Collar from black hen hackle Head Black dubbing or chenille Eyes (Optoinal) Ball chain or chrome plastic
