During one of my World Championships appearances I was nymphing a grayling river in Wales. Indicators are verboten (as is weight on the leader) but two flies are permitted. My top fly was a greased orange deerhair Carter Bug (small Bomber with deerhair tail and no wing). Given the thread, it takes no imagination to guess which fly enticed the most strikes (dead-drift).
