Old NZ wet. Otamita
Early NZ: Otamita. Very cool looking little wet. Decades old and not seen much these day which sadly is a malady that many old wee wets suffer down here..
Bronze Mallard tail, black goose wing quill body, grouse hackle and a spur winged plover wing.. sizes 10 to 18.

Re: Old NZ wet. Otamita
What a handsome pattern. I really like the color scheme and the overall construction of the fly.
Thank you for preserving the history of these patterns. Great post, on many levels.

Soft and wet - the only way....
Re: Old NZ wet. Otamita
Dana, I second that, a nice swap indeed. I don’t know about finding any Spur Winged Plover ( I never heard of it) but a swap could be along the lines of forgotten patterns.

Love both fly fishing and fly tying, been doing it for a while
But not much good at either
