Fulling Mill March Brown - Kosciuszko Dun (Pale Body)

The straightforward one, and the one to buy a dozen of

The straightforward version and the one to buy a dozen of. A conventional hackle wound at the thorax holds it up in the sort of ruffled water where a CdC or parachute wing gets swamped, and it takes a fish, a dry off and a redress far better than the delicate patterns will. The pale body suits the lighter Kosciuszko duns that come through from September into October. Not the subtlest fly in the box, and not meant to be.
