This fly is one that a friend showed me a while back. In fact you saw me fish with him this past summer. Kyle is his name, and he is the one who took me out on his bass boat to fly fish for some smallmouth bass. He had one of these flies that he said he used for months, and caught probably 100 bass on. It was so durable, and very effective. So of course I went home and tied a few. And sure enough, these are effective and durable.
This version I changed up the colors a bit, and some of the materials. Mainly the dubbing used. Its very good quality dubbing, and the synthetic mixed with the natural really makes a unique dubbing. I like this version, and the color pattern really works as a baby brown trout imitation.
Materials I used:
Hook: Gamakatsu B10S in size 2
Thread: Veevus Power Thread 140 in Brown
Weight: Large Painted Lead Dumbbell Eyes
Dubbing: Monster Dubbing in Dark Brown, Yellow and White
Wing: Magnum Rabbit Zonker in Chinchilla
UV Resin: Solarez "Ultra Thin"
