| Hook: | Partridge Bartleet, #2 |
| Thread: | Red 8/0 |
| Ribbing: | Silver oval tinsel |
| Body: | Silver braid |
| Hackle: | Purple spey hackle |
| Collar: | Teal |
| Wing: | Bronze mallard slips |
Note: A quick, easy spey fly that is easy to adapt to many different conditions by changing the braid and hackle colours. This was initially designed after losing a few "Purple Kings" that had taken a good deal of time to tie. This is not so regal, hence called a "Commoner", and does not provoke the same heartbreak if it winds up on a log or under a rock.
