Simple, high-floating attractor; all that foam, hackle and rubber should push some water and pound up a few. Change colors to suit your needs.



hook - Dai Riki 280 #10

thread - UTC 140 tan

body - opalescent tinsel medium

overbody/head - 2mm foam tan

wing - deer hair

indicator - Congo Hair pink

legs - rubber medium cornsnake

hackle - brown



Mash down barb and attach thread at head

Great looking attractor pattern, a lot of people ask about tying an easy attractor pattern and I think you just gave them one. Thanks for the SBS.
