| Fishing Tips |
| Tie this fly very fuzzy, with the long strands of mohair trailing back and merging with the marabou tail. Fish it mostly as a nymph, dead drift, upstream. I usually use an indicator. Fish will sometimes hit the fly as it begins to drag at the end of the drift. I use it mostly as a heavy 'nymph' that sinks quickly into short, deep holes in small streams, but the fly has proven its versatility in a wide variety of situations, including ponds and lakes in the western US and New Zealand. |
