Porch Light, Cinnamon (Euro) (Anchor Fly)

What night time insect isn't attracted to a glowing porch light?   This fly pattern attracts the fish... just like flying bugs to a porch light on a warm summer evening!

My Porch Light nymph is a solid anchor fly.  It brings a couple of materials fairly unique to Euro style nymphs to the table.  First, the body is made up of twisted micro Krystal Flash and Sulky.  This unique combination brings a subtle but fiery glow effect- even in low light   As far as the goose....I haven't seen but a handful of Euro style patterns that incorporates biots, but it certainly adds the "bite me" look to any pattern.

Switch out the color combinations of the body and collar!  I tie the Porch Light in black, brown, amber, gold, orange, red, purple as well as iridescent pearl (green) and ultra violet.
