This is a simplified version of John Barr's jumbo John fly pattern I've recently tied for a client. The major difference is this version omits the flash and resin wingcase. I've tied this in a few different colors, chartreuse, orange, pink, black and brown. I'm tying these in sizes 4 down to 10, but it would be fine tied down into smaller sizes as well.
