This rather simple and easy to tie nymph works great as imitating stonefly nymphs, dragonfly or damselfly nymphs and as an all around attractor pattern. Great for nymphing for trout, or even fishing for sunfish and bluegill. I have even caught a few Rio Cichlids on this fly.
I used a dubbing I got from tying the Rio Bandito fly I put on video last week. The material used on that fly produces so much Aussie possum dubbing I had to figure out a good way to use it. And this fly works perfectly for that. Waste not want not right? So check out that fly video from last week here.. https://youtu.be/1_yGn2T5vXU
