Gerry’s variant on the International Dabbler is an outstanding wet fly for pulling up a trout in a good wave.

It is Gerry’s own Mayfly pattern that he uses on Conn, Corrib and Mask. The wing and tail is bronze mallard, rib is gold wire, the thorax is hot orange seals fur and the body is golden olive seals fur and the front over-hackle Indian game. Gerry considers this to be useful on most lakes in Mayfly time.
