(Click to Enlarge) This fly is a cross between a Royal Wulff, Royal Trude, Parachute Adams, Spinner, and my own Wonder Bug. I tied it for the dog days of summer and it works well to bring larger fish to the surface. When using this fly it has a better strike and hookup performance than a Royal Wulff, I believe because of the different look and great silhouette it presents on the water - to see what I mean look at it from the underside with a lighted background as shown in the last picture above. Hook: Any brand 4X long size 6 to 16 with a fine wire, having as wide a gape as possible or a Mustad 3261 Thread: Black6/0 (70 denier) or larger Tail: Golden pheasant tippets Body: (Traditional Materials) Peacock Herl/Red Floss/ Peacock Herl (Non-Traditional Materials) Black foam or Floss/Red Heat Shrink/Black Foam Floss(as presented) Legs: Medium to fine speckled white rubber centipede leg material Wing: White material made with heat-n-bond and netting Post: White Polypropylene Yarn Hackle: Tied parachute style Grizzly and Brown mixed.
