Cone heads

Here is the pattern we used on our recent trip to Colorado for monster cuttroats. This is a simple pattern we used with great success on the Uncompahgre River. In four days of fishing I managed to land 7 fish between 19 and 22 inches and lost 3-4 fish that size. This is the pattern that goes with our tavelog on our Colorado trip.

Once again, simple is good!
Once again, black is good!
Once again, rubber legs are good!
Once again a tube fly from Nils Jorgensen.
This little tube fly is so easy to tie that you can easily fill a box in no time.

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.
