Grey dun mayfly is a classic dry fly, this fly will work from spring to late autumn (of course, it must be much smaller).
Its advantage is very good visibility, much better than the version with CdC wings.
How to make a body more durable:
-
every two or three turns of the feather, we wind one thread to the front.
-
second method is winding the body on the covered with adhesive hook’s shank.
