This fly has been a favourite with the Stillwater fly fishers for several years. Originally it was devized by Bob Worts for fishing Grafham Water when reservoir trout fishing was in its infancy. It was not long before its popularity spread to other stillwaters. The white hackle wing is intended as a ‘sighter’ rather than imitative. In a ripple it may help to treat with floatant.

Is it red cock hackle for all colours of Bob’s Bits ?
Hi John
Standard dressing Brown cock hackle.Nothing is laid down in tablets of stone! I have used both black and grizzle with equal success. The important bit is the white wing for visibility.
Hope this helps.
