About the Dunkeld Nymph Trout Fly

I was asked many years ago to tie some Dunkeld Nymphs, I looked for the correct tying but could not find in anywhere, after many phone calls I was put in touch with a very old gentleman who remembered an old pattern for this fly, I tied the order incorporating one new material, the thorax, as I had a few flies spare and a fishing trip was called for I popped the flies in my pocket, an hour later I was on the river, I was using a team of two flies casting across and up stream, after several trout I noticed that they were all taking the Dunkeld. I have had several good fishing trips on lakes using this fly, all in all a good fly to have on the cast.
