The Dunkeld Dabbler

The Dunkeld Dabbler
One hell of a fly to fish on the Irish Loughs especially late june when the trout are well onto the pin fry, tried out last year on Sheelin it accounted for 6 fish over a 2 day event, not only fished on the Irish Loughs i fished this pattern on the river Mourne and was taken by 2 sea trout and 1 salmon.

Next week i will be showing you some fly patterns i have devised for the Irish rivers for trout and also Dollaghan.
