sweet!
I don't know that I've ever seen it tied as a dry? Your post is coincidental. I just tied some wet flies of this pattern, just the other night: 
my tying skills don't approach yours, but I'm not ashamed of this either. It'll do fine on the swing...

The dry version was Harry Plunket Greene's favourite pattern, a reason enough to have a few in the box...

Like the hunter, the hawker and the fowler, the fisherman takes life in finding his pleasure. It is reasonable to ask
of him that he make it as keen and thorough and satisfying, as productive of growth in himself as he reasonably can. For only then can it be the strong and
sensitive pleasure of a civilised man.

Love the Iron Blue Dun, it is a great producer down here in north Georgia! Here is my soft hackle version, tied with a Jackdaw scalp feather and a touch of
moleskin dubbing on the body.
