This fly is very easy to tie and looks like a bonefish fly at first glance. I think the Brookies think this fly is a small damsel fly nymph. Last spring it worked very well on the little brooks around here and I never got skunked with it. It is like brookie candy when fished at the end of small rifles easily taking fish that passed by my companions' flies. It should work in larger sizes for bigger waters and bigger fish too.
