That would also be a great hellgrammite imitation. Bet the strikes will be powerful!

That is a perfect Spring and early Summer pattern for the rivers I fish.

I do not catch alot of fish on that type, but usually the two biggest fish of the day take it.

Very well done!!!

DUBBN,

When I go with this type of heavy fly, it may be trailing a small soft hackle or be on point with 2 flies above it. The simple fly I normally use is a BH Black Woolly Bugger with some Krystal flash in the tail. You are right about big fish of the day!
