Fly Tying the Missing Link fly with Barry Ord Clarke

This wonderful little pattern from fly tyer Mike Mercer is a great all-rounder that was originally designed as a crippled caddis fly, but it can be fished successfully under most hatches and conditions. Pay special attention to the proportions and amount of material, as it can be easily overdressed.
