chub

There have been two or three outings where I entertained myself catching
chub on dries when little else was going down.

I took a chub on a size 4 salmon hook once at Sandy Creek. That was
something to see. If I remember, it was on my own concoction that I call a
"freddie mercury"

Hook: Salmon fly, size 4-6
tail: purple schlappen
tag: medium oval tinsel
body: Purple ultra chenille
rib: fine oval tinsel
thorax: Purple lite brite
wing: flourescent pink calf tail (reverse tied)
Hackle: Purple chickabou

I don't remember why I called it a "freddie Mercury", but it seems to fish
well in everything from clear to deeply stained water.
