What is the name of this fly?

    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's a badly tied Connemara black.

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