Hi John
Thanks for your input.
This pattern had obviously eluded my ‘system’.
It does not look to too much of a problem to tie. I will make a note of ‘ingredients’ and tie some up ad see how they look. Perhaps it could feature in a future lesson.
Have spent a day or two on the Derwent trotting for grayling. The cold was getting to parts I had forgotten I had. Am I getting old?

Tim

I had a little look and found this pattern for the fly:

Material List: Hook- Mustad #9672 No. 6
Thread- Black
Tag- Gold Mylar
Tail- Red Duck Quill
Rib- Gold Mlyar
Body- Orange Yellow fur or Wool (loosely wound)
Underwing- 5 Strands Pearl Krystal Flash
Wing- Red Squirrel Tail
Throat- Yellow Hackle

Hope this helps.

This is all i know about the fly, other then it works very well. Can you help?
Warden Joe Stickney, of Saco, Maine in the 1920’s, first tied the Warden’s Worry. He also
developed another popular streamer, the Supervisor.
I first tried Warden’s Worry this past fall, on the last day of the season, it took one of the nicest
fish I caught all year. I’ll be fishing it a lot more often next year.
I believe it is meant to imitate a young brown trout. It is a fairly simple pattern to tie. You could
substitute yellow yarn or floss for the body, but the orange-yellow dubbing mix gives it a brown
trout look.

Hi Tim
with over 60 yrs tying fishing flies I never cease to be amazed at the names of fishing flies! I wish I had thought of this one. I reckon someone has been kidding you on. Perhaps out there someone will let me know.
Happy Fishing.

Hi Ray
Thanks for your comments. Never had the chance to fish Hanningfield in the ‘good old days’
I am a computer dinosaur and find it difficult to guide anyone thro the site. If you look hard enough you will find 17 beginner lessons from buzzer to woollley bugger, and 6 intermediate lessons.( not to mention all the other little bits and bobs).
As my Granny used to say ” Seek and you will find.” mind you she was talking about my salvation………another failure.

I cant believe that I have found a sight like yours that makes “fly-tying” so much simpler.
I`ve been fishing for trout for more years than I care to remember,& I must say,had my fair share of fish.
Hanningfield Res. was my main point of fishing.In the “good ole days” before they introduced “any-method”,God how I hate that saying,.Probably fishing 4/5 times a week,from bank & boats,& only using “bought-in” flies.Crikey that was expensive.Then I started to tye a selection of flies that was introduced to me by a famous Nymph Fisher,Evan Ivey.
These flies were called ,please excuse the pun,”condom-flies”.Tied from latex they were so simple to make,& fished in the right way used to be the main “fly” in our boxes.
But now as the years creap on I feel that I need to get into more difficult flies to tie.I have enroled @ North Kent Fly-Dressers Guild who start tying in October,but your site will certainly give me a head start.Hope so anyway!
I`ve looked @ the Vid`s, of Klinkhammer,Diawl Bach, would there be any more that I can veiw?
It`s been so nice find your site & I will be constantly “glued” to it,I promise,Thank you for yor help,
Best regards,
Tight lines Ray.
