This little pattern is cool! It passes for small baetis nymphs in the smaller sizes and covers the smaller stoneflies in a bit larger sizes. It's also a family simple pattern to tie, If you can tie a PT nymph or Hare's Ear nymph, you will ne able to tie this pattern. I fish it on a 2 nymph rig. It's possible to fish two of these patterns to cover both stones and beats. A lager size 12 or 14 in cream as your first fly and a smaller size 16-20 as your second fly to cover the mayflies. Tied with a Tungsten bead, you can drop it off the back of a hopper or bigger dry fly to fish pocket water. Let us know how it goes. Enjoy!
P.S.-Turn down your volume a bit before playing!

Nice pattern. I'll be tying a few dozen of those this week. Thanks Juan.
ReplyDeleteHi Juan,
ReplyDeleteMade some in all black with a black stone fly dubbing. They look fantastic. I will try some on the Animas next week. Thanks for posting this pattern.
Let me know how they work on the Animas. I used to fish it as often as I could several years back. I love that river.
ReplyDeleteWill do. I think you would like the all black color. Headed to a local park, may put one under an indicator.
ReplyDeleteGood tutorial, great pattern that has worked well for me especially on the Colorado. Would be a nice follow up video for your viewers to show Morrish's Iron Sally!
ReplyDeleteNice pattern. Going to tie some up and give them a try out east here. Your videos are great! They show your techniques in a very clear manner. Thanks, keep up the good work.
