This is probably the most important and universal mayfly dun that you can have in your box!
The Craig Mathews sparkle dun is a no hackle pattern that can be tied in just about any size and colour to match the hatch. The sparkling trailing shuck makes this pattern a stillborn or cripple mayfly, making it easy pickings for feeding trout.
