Clarke's Deer Hair Pupa

No comments yet

One of my earliest patterns that has worked well for me over the past 30 years. Fish it dry or as an emerger fished with a sinking poly leader. Pull it under on the retrieve and watch it POP back up to the surface as you stop the retrieve.

Hook: Mustad R50Rap # 10-16
Tying Thread: Semperfli Nano silk 6/0
Body & Hackle Whitetail spinning Deer hair

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
