Tom Stuart in his book Two Hundred Popular Flies says this fly was first tied by William J. Robertson in 1934 and fished for sea trout on Loch Maree. I use a smaller version and substitute a fluorescent tail for sunk line work. I have yet to try green Glo-Brite 12 on a Kate. But the colour combination of black and green works so well on my mini lures I am surprised I have not tried it before now. One for next season.
