Renowned fly-dresser Peter Gathercole ties Arthur Macdonald’s Chartreuse Kate Muddler

Arthur Macdonald ties extravagant Muddler-style patterns and has developed alternative winged/Dabbler style patterns, known as Slappers. Living on the fringes of Lochaber country he has access to some beautiful and exciting lochs on the west coast of Scotland. His colour schemes reflect a predilection for black, clarets and other strong colours in this area. They also point to the opportunistic behaviour of local wild trout stock, and their tendency to feed high in the water. Hook: Size 8 Fulling Mill Shor
