About this fly
Hook: Daiichi 1270 hook or similar size is up to youThread: The Fly Smith 52d chartreuseTail: squirrel Body: pearl white flash, green fine wireThorax: mixture of yellow and green seal dubbing. Alternative can be used ice dubbing is a great alternative.Wing casing: jungle cock, alternatives pheasant feathers you’ll just have to thin the feather down to the shape you want.Head: tungsten bead any color and size will work, I have a variation of this where I use a plastic bead to get it to float higher up in the water table.Hot spot behind the head: redThis is just a searching pattern made for my home river, it represents a stonefly nymph, mayfly nymph, caddis. Start: any thread will work but as a suggestion I would recommend Brian Smith awesome new thread, the 52d stuff lays flat and is what I used, check that out at www.theflysmith.co.
