Chad Trout 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2007 Matt - oh yeah, it has been fished on the Big Horn, Frying Pan, Blue, Cheesman and the Dream Stream all with good results. Jon boy- I got the idea from a fly pattern I saw in Flytyer magazine about two flies on the same hook. So I played around with a few different ideas until I came up with about a 6 different styles. This one was the first one I came up. Its on a partridge swimming nymph hook size 12. Bottom fly is basically a copper john and the top fly is some dubbing, krystal flash strands, ostrich and bead.

Soft-hackle 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2007 Chad, What a great looking fly. A great idea of what appears to be a very vulnerable stage in the hatch cycle. That, in my opinion, is a great characteristic for a fly to have. Nice work! Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chad Trout 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2007 Thanks Guys for the comments. Mark, yes it works like a treat during the hatch cycle and when fishing is tough on the tailwaters that one seems to always catch fish!!! Plus its a fun tie! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
