Notes:
(1) This has been a good early morning searching pattern for me. I typically run a olive or olive brown small midge pupa as a dropper in conjunction with this fly. If the fish are on the smaller midge they are probably feeding on BWO emergers and it's time to change your jig head to a different pattern. Also switch to a BWO nymph to confirm.
(2) The bead is interchangeable with a black nickel or mocha color. I do not tie this with a copper bead.
(3) Try tying this pattern with different thorax colors. Copper, peacock and orange synthetics are two great choices I carry in the fly fly box.
Materials:
Hook: Hanak H450BK, Sizes 14 and 16
Bead: Size appropriate to hook. You can go one bead size larger if needed.
Thread: 12/0 Benecchi. Color to match thorax.
Tail: Pheasant tail fibers, 4 to 6.
Body: Pheasant tail fibers. A thin body of 4 or 5 fibers.
Ribbing: Hends .09mm, copper
Thorax: Hend's Spectra Dubbing, #35 Rusty Brown
