I don’t know if this flay has a name but I call it the cripple buzzer. It is good for trout taking buzzers a few inches below the surface and is meant to represent a failed emerging buzzer.
Dressing
Hook : Kamasan B100n sizes 12 down to 16
Thread : Black 8/0
Abdomen : Pearl lurex tinsel
Rib : Silver Wire
Thorax : Ice Dub Peacock Black
Wing : Siliconised Polypropylene Yarn
Tie on thread and run down to there the wing will be tied in.
Catch in the wire rib.
Run the thread down to the tip of the abdomen and then back up to where you caught in the rib.
Catch in the pearl tinsel and coat the layers of thread round the hook with tying cement.
Run the tinsel down to the lower part of the abdomen and back up again to the tying in point.
Cut off the tinsel and then counter wind the rib in a nice even spacing (do what I say, not what you see I do).
Catch in one layer of the polypropylene yarn.
Run the thread forward to approximately half way toward the eye of the hook.
Double the yarn back over and tie down.
Cut off the wing about level with the back of the hook.
Wind on a thin spindle of dubbing.
Run the dubbed thread forwards towards the eye.
Whip finish.
Snip off the thread. Add a drop of head cement and job finished.
