Fratnik Sedge

Fly: Harald Weidler, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: VMC 7075BZ
Thread: UNI 6/0 brown
Body: Olive CDC dubbing
Wing: Magic wing colored with permanent marker, yellow
Hackle: 3 turns brown or what you like
Wing: 3 CDC feather tips natural brown
Note: As simple the components are so effective it is on the water. You can fish it in dead drift but it catches also very well if you move it sometimes. Especially in waters with heavy vegetation I prefer to cast with it - You don't mind if you loose this fly as one can tie it fast and easily. The original version by Marjan Fratnik is tied without any dubbing just thread as body.
