Black pennell for river fish ? Really ?

well i never....

i never bothered trying it on the don....
I've never fished the Don (Wish I could) but a Black Pennell has been the most reliable wet fly for me on the Welsh , English and even French rivers. This fly has everything.  First of all it's BLACK.  A touch of silver and colour and a bit action if tied nicely.

Black pennell. - But what's the best wet fly in the catalogue for attracting the angler?  :z13
Personally, I can't resist a decent Grouse & Claret!  :z4

I think that anglers 'go to flys' are really down to confidence and those memorable trout they captured! Interestingly for myself my go to dry fly on Don is simple CDC's in black, olive and brown but had much less success with Klinkhammer, also much easier and quicker to tie!
