Golden-olive body, red tail, and a speckled wing — James Ogden's 1880s pattern that still catches fish on every British water.
Fish this when
Spring through summer on rivers and stillwaters. Fish it as a middle dropper on a loch team or swung through the current on rivers.
Why it works
The golden-olive body reads as fly pupa or emerging sedge. Speckled wing adds life. Reliable across water types and light conditions.
Naturals it imitates
small baitfish, sedge pupa or bright general wet-fly silhouette
