That's excellent! I like the wingless flies as well.

Cicvara,
I am very impressed with your patterns that you have posted here on the forum! Your flies are just wonderful and there is no reason why these will not catch trout just about anywhere!
I have become a Cicvara fan! Keep them coming.
Your pal,

I knew something about the 'Cowdung' Fly was nagging at me.
This is from the Turton collection on my site.

I suppose Cowdung flies vary from area to area, depending on the prevalent dung.
Bit of observation required + clothes-peg. :lol:
