FISHING NOTES
This is a great fly to throw whether you have a sink-tip line or not. When fished on a floating line with a long leader this fly has a fantastic jigging action that trout love. Generally I tie this fly in four different color schemes, olive, tan, black, and yellow. Matching the color of the river bottom and making adjustments for water clarity are the best way to pick a starting point. Tie some up & get fishing!
