Size #16 // 2.5mm Tungsten Bead
Size #18 // 2.0mm Tungsten Bead
Size #20 // Unwieghted
This fly got it’s name because it cleans up. When I started fly fishing and bought a starter pack of flies, this was in there. I was catching a lot of fish on it and it became my first confidence pattern.
The emerging wing attracts the fish and it can pass for many small bugs. Works great on a dropper or when chasing picky fish. I tied these on Firehole’s brand new continuous bend jig hook, so the point always rides up snagging less and hooking up better in the roof of their mouth.
