Troutsbane,

Just checked my Sotheby's guide. According to Mr Jardine, blue. He includes it in his flies from Scotland section but concides that it is as likely to be of Irish origin. He goes on to say that it can also be succesful for salmon in lochs. (I suppose he should include loughs also).

Believe it or not Its actually a very good fly on Lough Erne and tied with a peach glo bright tail and rib works well on Melvin but for the life of me I couldn't remember what neck feather  Sad  
Cheers guys
