Tying Instructions

Instructions Note
Terrific pre-hatch fly, fished dead drift, and swung to the surface with
twitches.  Lead eyes and the flowing materials provide a lot of action, and
is a big producer for those big boys who aren't always willing to take the dry,
but love the nymphs.  Also very good to swing and twitch wet-fly style when
the hatch is full blown as there is too much competition for the trout's
attention on the surface, right thru dark!!  Use a heavy tippets and hang
on!   Will also work well during the Brown Drake emergence.
