Notes:
The Pukeko is a local swamp hen, and is a very pretty blue colour, as per the feather on this fly.
Often the wing is substituted with blue dyed Mallard Flank, but I don't think these have the same hue as the original.
This wee number is a good night fly.
Can also be tied with the feathers (x2 to x4) tied flat on top of the fly.
This creates a fly that would be not unlike a freshwater crayfish (or "Koura" if you
are a NZer!!) in silhouette. There are a number of flies tied in that
particular style, which is a "Pukeko" style, and again, most are night flies.
