that's a fine tie roy! i really like the wings upright position and i'm sure it imitates an emerger very well. that's a unique style.
Nice fly Roy, are they Starling, Blackbird or Duck wings? they look a bit like Starling but am probably wrong.

Very nicely tied Catskill !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Starling is what is usually used for the wings !!!!!!!!!
Thanks Alpinefly, am trying to find a Greenwell's Glory pattern; and that the wings are Starling makes it easier to guess the rest of it by the picture.

Roy,
Very nice. Clean and crisp in the Catskill style.

Thanks, guys,
this fly is tied in what I think is the original form.
The recipe is the original, tied on a hook which may match the shape of the original -
yellow silk, heavily treated in black wax,
coch-y-bondhu hackle,
blackbird(female secondary) wing, starling is a recognised substitute,
I have added a rib as that is the standard variant, where it was not on the original.
This fly works almost everywhere for trout.
