The pattern:

Hook--12 standard dry fly
Thread--White 6/0
Body--piece of white poly yarn, about 2 inches long, singed to melt
at either end. Lash this to the body over hook point, extending to
rear. Thorax--black fur, your choice. I use squirrel or rabbit.
Wing--heavily tied longish grizzley, 2 or three feathers wound
hackle-wise and clipped top and bottom.

There you have it.....easy to tie, painless to lose. The fish eat
them up like the real thing and they stay in their mouths real well.
Go to it guys...
one more I don't have to make batches of giveaways for you all!

I've noticed that there is no tail on this, and that is something I
was trying to include. Ideas or comments?


I've posted a photo of the Penns Creek natural at

The tails go all the way to my thumb
