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.
