A Great fly, always have a few of these in my fly box.
I find that they are at their best on medium to small rivers (rather like the Rye in North Yorkshire where they originated).
Great for fading light, I think that the trout mistake them for sedges if anything.
I also tie a variation that I call the John Storeyhammer, a klinkhamer/john storey bastardisation tied on a klinkhamer hook with a peacock herl abdomen and the mallard breast feather used as a wing post with the hackle red game hackle wound around it, think klinkahamer with John Storey materials.
As for the length of wing on the orignal I prefer the exagerated effect of the original. My friend Roger Beck rates this pattern as a Killer pattern on Driffield Beck.
Good luck and let us know how you get on.
Mick
