Tesla Coil Nymph
I was looking to create a nymph for fishing the tributary streams running into Lake Ontario that had both a UV presence and a little extra weight. The Coil hits the mark by using a body of copper wire and a heavy tungsten bead combined with some UV materials.
The fly has been great so far, picking out quite a few trout, chub and panfish from the creeks.

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.
