The natural dressing of the same pattern, and the one to reach for in clear water and bright light where a red body looks like a decision and a black one looks like food. The silver rib is doing real work: it segments the body and throws the small flash that a rising pupa gives off. Deadly suspended under a dry fly in slow, clear water.
