    I've checked so many different fly fishing and fishing fly websites looking for the name of this fly but can't find the name of this fly. It looks like a cross between a Connemara Black, a Blae & Black and something else.

    I used it last week and caught 4 small brownies in a pool on a river I fish. I fished along a length of the river again today, using different flies with not so much success and eventually made my way back to the same pool. I put up this fly again and within minutes had caught a couple more small brown trout.

    Anyone know the name of this fly? I can't remember where I bought it but I need to get a few more.

    It looks like a Kate McLaren variant. Hope this helps. C. D.

    It may be badly tied but the trout are going mad for it!
