Note: 
I like to offset the hook slightly for better hooking quality.



 



I originally tied
this pattern for trout but it has turned out to catch every freshwater species. 
People have told me I could not catch catfish on a fly but this fly hooked an 8
pound channel cat.



 



I coat this
pattern with floatant & fish it on a sink line & leader.  Retrieve can vary from
slow stripping (like fishing off the float tube) to short jerk strip retrieve.

Single peacock herl wrapped ¾ way toward bead.
