Detailed fly tying sequence of one of the most effective flies devised in 1980's by Slovenian fly fisher Marjan Fratnik. This simple pattern marked a new era in the development of CDC flies.

We can tie this small fly in many colour variations and sizes. This is a pattern that is suitable for beginner fly tyers.

Fly tying materials:

Hook: Dry 10-28
Thread: Olive
Body: Olive pheasant tail fibres
Wing: Natural grey CDC

Advice on tying: always use the best quality CDC feathers for tying F-Fly flies, because CDC feathers are the key to the floating properties of this fly.
