Brown Moth Dry Freshwater Hook : 12 Tiemco. Thread : 6/0 black. Tail : Few strands of elk hair or brown feather. Body : Brown or green dubbing (or both). The one I use is rabbit. Rib : Silver or gold thread. Wings : Rump feathers. Hackle : Brown cock.
Tying Instructions 1) Tie in thread as per usual finishing at hook bend. 2) Tie in the tail strands. 3) Wind dubbing on the body up to a little over two thirds from the hook eye. (make it a little plump). 4) Wind on the shiny wire, back to front 2 or 3 turns is enough. 5) Attach (tie in) the wings in front of the body either sitting up or flat. 6) Wind on the hackle as per usual.
Fly Notes Could be trimmed underneath or even left off to allow the fly to become a bit waterlogged. This way it can be twitched on the surface to create a little disturbance.
Fishing Notes Target species is Trout, but also saltwater species such as bream, luderick, mullet and trevally are attracted to it.
