The Sparkle Dun is quite possibly my favorite fly. It's a fairly easy fly to tie (no hackle which is great for me), and it's extremely versatile. The pattern can be tied in a multitude of colors in order to mimic the baetis, pmd, and flavs, just to name a few. I tie them in all colors and sizes to use when I don't have a fly in the pattern of the hatch. Using sparkle duns I can cover a lot of different flies with just one pattern.
