My take on the ubiquitous Pearly Dabbler. Another good performer at any position on the leader, being suggestive of just about any aquatic food items you care to think of - hog-louse, corixa, sedge-pupa, fry, shrimp, buzzers - they're all covered here. Vary the colour of the body hackle, and/or the mallard to match local hatches more specifically, or simply bump up the colours to make a great attractor. Performs all the way through the lines too.
