Speckled Olive Dapping Fly SZ 8

The idea behind dapping is to get the fly to skip across the waves or ripples of your favourite water. As it is only the fly that touches the water the fish are unaware of any line being attached to it and they seem to find this skipping action of the fly tantalizing and irresistible, indeed, often they will come out of the water and attempt to take the fly in mid air.
