Anyway the Sierpinski Dog was a fly that was and still is extremely successful and it amazes me that it really didn’t catch on outside of a few devout users in the Taupo area. I use the red body a lot, also green. Orange too did well for me many years back on the Tongariro. Tie them sparse as possum fur can be quite buoyant. Plus the body colour shows through the possum fur which will flow and ripple through the current. John Morton had a similar fly the Fuzz
Hook is 2 to 10, tail is black dog, goat or squirrel, body chenille or mohair colour to suit, and the “hackle” is natural dark possum fur wrapped around the hook middle and front. The smaller sizes can just have the front hackle. (Hint use a 10 or 12 as a Stillwater fly...)
