Sure, it's kind of like a wooly worm or a griffith's gnat in a lot of ways, but it you could say a lot of flies are kind of like other flies. Regardless, even the haters that say this is a wooly worm can't deny this is a great fly. • What does it mimic? I don't know... It doesn't really look like anything, but it also doesn't look like nothing, if that make sense. • Fish it dry or fish it wet... or fish it dry for the first part of the drift and then strip it back underwater at the end of the drift. Add a bead and make it a nymph... Fish is as a dry trailer off an Elk Hair Caddis... Fish it as a dry dropper... etc etc etc. • This is one of the first flies I learned how to tie and it's super easy. I've caught fish everywhere from trout parks in Missouri, the Current River, Meramec, wild fish in Colorado in the South Platte River, alpine lakes and streams, still water fishing on mountain reservoirs, etc... A lot of places. • Hook: This was tied on a Mustad R30 dry fly hook size #12-16 • Thread: UTC 70 • Body: hareline dubbing, ice dub, tinsel, thread... really whatever you want • Hackle: Grizzly or solid colors of whatever color you want... you can use saddle or cape. I choose saddle more often than not. • Back: Peacock herl
