I have always liked the look of The Silver Doctor, whether it is Fully Dressed, Hairwing, Cascade or similar styles.
The red, yellow, blue and silver all combine to make a visually attractive fly for the angler and tyer.
However, has anyone been fishing with it this season? And if so, any successes? (Medicine and similar style flies excluded!)
I cannot recollect any reports of anyone landing a fish with a Silver Doctor.

Never ever used it and have never seen it being used. It's a smashing looking fly a bit like a silver Garry Dog. Silver is an underrated fish taker. |

The Silver Doctor is a very underrated fly, nowadays everyone fishes with the fashion flee of the moment IE cascades and other long tailed flees. A lot of my tenents fish with traditional hair wing flees like the Silver Doctor, Blue Charm and likes with good results  Tony |

Do you think if you were fishing with a Silver stoats Tail, you would have caught as much? I suppose what I am asking is: Is the fly being used in certain conditions/times "that" important if the fish are on the feed, which evidently was the case on your session. |

If the Cascade or Allys shrimp was never invented would catch returns be lower |
