It was the name that caught my attention just as much as the actual fly. It was rather intriguingly and interestingly called "The Chinese Whisper"
By all accounts the name came about after a fishing trip to Lough Conn in Ireland.
The Fly's creator had heard a conversation between two nearby fisherman who had a very successful day on the aforementioned County Mayo Lough with a fly based on a famous old Michael Rogan dressing called the Exractor! which he overheard described, noted, tyed and fished.
However after returning from his fishing trip he later found out that his dressing was completely wrong!
Nonetheless the eroniously described dressing proved to be a winner and its creator has used it extensively all over the British Isles where ever Brown Trout are to be found!
