This Diawl Bach pattern we have found to be particularly effective for fishing in stained water thanks to the bright cheeks and flashback. This fly is a very good top dropper whilst fishing a team of nymphs. This had became a firm favourite twiddling Diawl for stocked rainbows at lake of Menteith and Rutland Water.
