The "Blob" series of dry
flies are possibly the simplest trout flies ever devised and,
despite their simplicity, are remarkably successful. The Dry
Blobby is a development of this theme, enhanced by using not
only a mix of colours in the dubbing but also a mix of materials
to give differentials in the refractive indices and stiffness.
Fish as a standard stillwater dry fly. |
