Blue Dun created by Charles Cotton.
The Blue Dun has a long lineage wich can be traced back to the time of Charles Cotton. Every part of the British Isles has its' Blue Dunn pattern, some winged, some hackled, some wet some only fished dry. It is not really certain what insect the Blue Dun imitates. It is probably yet another fly that represents the large dark olive.
The Blue Dun can be used to catch Brown Trout
As the name indicates dry flies which include Blue Dun are designed to float on the surface of the water. Trout dry flies types which include Blue Dun imitate a wide variery of flies and insects which inhabit the surface of the water. There is nothing like using dry flies and watching trout and grayling rise to the surface. To purists dry fly fishing is the true art-form of fly fishing, indeed some rivers only permit dry fly fishing. There are some dry flies (e.g. the Popper, Muddlers) which are designed to attract fish by the action of creating a surface disturbance. The flies are made from very bouyant materials (e.g, cork, ethafoam or deer hair, the latter having a generous application of floatant). A Muddler retrieved upwind of a rise can often result in a bulge in the water as the fish follows the fly.
A dry fly like Blue Dun has flotant (Gink is the most popular) warmed in your hand and gently rubbed into the hackles to help Blue Dun float and they are usually cast singly on a trout tapered leader. A floating line is used, but with the tapered leader de-greased so that it does not glint and flash light spooking the trout
