Help - What are materials for the Plop Fly a UK Salmon Fly specific to the Tweed

Happy new year to all

A friend has asked me to tie some flies for a visit to the Tweed in
the UK
However I can't seem to find the dressings for the Plop Fly even after
extensive Internet searching. If anyone can help please post the
dressiings or materials list for it if you know it.
Thanks



Thanks again

I rather fear that the term "Plop Fly" is generic for large flies that land
with a "plop", and is not a specific pattern. Probably unethical, (and more
or less useless!) on the Tweed anyway.

I don't think so Mike here's a snippet pasted from the fishtweed
website found under the flies to take section. Note the Plop Fly is in
between 2 other easier to find patterns. I have emailed the fishtweed
site but no reply as of yet. Thanks

pasted section
Some of the most widely used patterns are Junction Shrimp, Willie
Gunn, Comet, White Wing, Garry Dog, Yellow Tosh, Ally's Shrimp,
Cascade Shrimp, Plop Fly, Temple Dog, Purple Shrimp and the Thunder &
Lightning.

Indeed, it does sound like a specific pattern. Do please post the results
of your search, when and if you get any.

Ok Mike thanks for the reply, I had a standard type reply from the
tweedfish website but they didn't send me the patterns. At least not
yet I am pursuing it with them.

It seems strange to me that they would advertise and recommend local
type flies and expect their website customers, who hail from all
corners of the globe, to know the dressings or be able to bring these
flies with them when they arrive for their booking. ??
