Tying Instructions

Bead hook. Tie in copper rib with red 8/0 thread and wrap to bend in hook- make a small ball at the end. Tie in three pheasant tail barbs the length of the hook shank (in front of the thread ball), wrap to bead and tie off. Wrap rib to bead and tie off. Tie in 1 strand of peacock herl and make 3 wraps and tie off, and whip finish. Head cement is optional.

How to Fish

This is the most productive nymph pattern I have used- it has caught panfish, trout (many), and bass. I use it as a dropper on dries as well as a tandem nymph rig.

Dropper on a dropper finished at 10”-12” below primary fly- same depth on a dry fly.
