This fly was originated by Fenton Roskelley of Spokane Washington in 1960.

The concept of this fly is to imitate a damselfly nymph and other nymphs. This fly should be fished subsurface and deep, slightly above bottom

Hook - Mustad 3906 or equivalent, size #8 - #12
Weight - Lead free wire (optional)
Thread - Black
Tail - Red hackle fibers
Rib - Gold wire
Body - Rear 2/3 - Yellow Yarn or dubbing, Front third - Peacock herl
Hackle - Grizzly hen
Flytiers sure have a way at making things difficult

It’s got a nice old-timey vibe. Classy classic.

Thank you for sharing.
