Fulling Mill Tungsten KJ CdC Red Tag - Barbless Jig

The most Australian fly there is, on a jig hook

Martyn Flynn tied the first Red Tag in Worcestershire in the 1850s and called it the Worcestershire Gem, but it was Australia and Tasmania that took it to heart, and it has been a fixture in boxes here ever since. This is Kieron Jenkins's version turned into a weighted jig: the peacock and red tag that fish have never stopped eating, with CdC to breathe on the drift and a tungsten bead to put it on the bottom. Fish it on the point when you want a proven pattern doing the searching rather than an attractor.
