The Yellow Dancer

The Yellow Dancer is a relative newcomer on the fly fishing scene.  It is a ‘sport’ of the original Woolley Bugger devised by our friends north of the border. It has proved to be a ‘must have’ fly on most Scottish still water trout fisheries. As is always the case it has spawned the usual derivatives, Black Dancer , Orange Dancer, and I expect in the fullness of time we will have the Highland Dancer. I had to resort to my favourite fishing magazine , Fly Fishing and Fly Tying to get the dressing. It is a straight forward tie if you do the proper preparation.

The Dressing

• Hook -- Kamasan 175 or similar , sizes 8 / 10.
• Tail -- White marabou with a few strands of pearlescent micro flash.
• Body -- Rainbow flashabou or similar.
• Rib -- Fine gold oval.
• Hackle -- Long yellow cock palmered.
• Head -- Gold bead to suit hook size.
