FLYMPH FORUM

Size 14. As pretty as the pattern is, I wish it was better at catching fish.

I tie them every year and catch a couple fish. Then forget them for 11 months

John Collins gave me a few of those when he first started messing around with that pattern.
I too have had mixed results but there is that occasional day when the fish can't keep their lips off them.
The Great Lakes steelhead are another story. It shines in the late fall and winter.

I am relieved to find another that has mixed results with this pattern. For me, it is like the Copper John, or CDC & Elk. Others do well them. My success is limited.

Still, they are fun for me to tie.

They look they they should catch.
