For Dart New Pattern Database Submission

Dear FTF Member,
Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock
Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations. The future of both Hatches and FTF depends on the support of FTF members like you. For $7 a year, you not only help ensure that I have the resources needed to be able to offer you all of the features you enjoy today free of charge, you also get 96 pages of pure fly tying awesomeness that is worth the price by itself. Click Here for Subscription Info Thank You -Will

Yesterday, Dart and I had a conversation about the versatility of the bugger, especially for smaller trout and panfish. He encouraged me to post this simple little pattern. I tied it to slam big gills, but quickly found that it slayed Appalachian trout. It makes a wonderful nymph imitation for mayflies, caddis, damsels, and even baitfish when tied in grey and shades of white. You can add a little flash to the tail or even palmer one or two strands up the body for a great effect. It's simple. It's easy. And it takes ALOT of fish. I never hit the mountain streams without a few of these and my Tellicos!

I told ya, very simple pattern. Great for the big gills. I love to fish this around vegetation and lily pads. Great pattern to strip across silt/mud flats in the late evenings. I've even popped a few lunker smallies on this little guy. Hope ya like it, Dart!

With a bright orange bead tied in black, you have a baby egg sucking leech too. Ahh, the possibilities!

Ya know, I never thought of that! This is a great pattern when tied in yellow, with a yellow tail, and a red bead. The big gills will smack it in clear water on bright days. One would only be limited to the colors in his feather stash. A buggy dubbing works great in the stead of ostrich. Pick it out and let it get "fuzzy". Killer pattern.

I know that it does! Been tying this little fly for years and it's never left me fishless. It always manages to get one or two to the net or boatside.

Chris, super nice fly! I'll have to try that ostrich herl body!

It's amazing how much we think alike! I tie a very similar fly using chenille for the body, rabbit for the tail, a sparse hackle collar, but I add bead chain eyes, usually black plastic. Tied on a size 8 or 10 hook, the Bluegills eat it up!

I tend to tie them more so in dark colors, but I can see that white should be great too!

Simple yet elegant solution. Nice tie and the choice of colour are endless.

I just love beads.

Thanks for sharing.

I never thought such a generic little pattern would have generated so many comments! Wow. IT is a great little fly and fun to tie. An experienced tier can whip out a dozen of these in less than half an hour. I tie them in brown with orange tails for stonflies and craws. I took many stocker trout one summer on a stream in East Tennesee fishing it in a 16 during a sulfur hatch. Great little fly.
