Tying Instructions

Instructions Note: 
The originator of Daphnia Cluster patterns is Larry Tullis.  This is my own
version using a glow in the dark addition (Zauder’s Glo Nailpolish).  Green and
clear nail polish for warmer months and water conditions, and orange added for
colder months and water conditions.  Daphnia or water fleas will show in lakes,
ponds, and even streams or rivers as an algae bloom.
