Francy McGorty of the owner of Melvin house near Garrison asked for a fly to be designed the night we were staying and this was created, with no name we decided to christen it the Melvin Rose after Francy.
This around June time and it worked fantastic in the deeps for the Sonaghan as it turned out to be a fantastic Daphnia pattern.
This version has been tweeked, instead of the usual english partridge we substituted it for the flo yellow french partridge and the pattern still worked well on the loughs.
For anyone wanting to tie this up here is the recipe.
THREAD- red danvilles 7/0
HOOK- size 10 med wt wet hook
TAIL- sunburst pheasant tail
RIB- gold wire
BODY- banana glister
BODY HACKLE- sunburst hackle
UNDER HACKLE- flo orange hackle
OVER HACKLE- flo yellow french partridge
Enjoy.
