Size 8 to 14 2x long nymph hook. I prefer a size 12 Gamakatsu Mayfly nymph
hook, which has a bend in the shank of the hook. White 6/0 or 8/0. White Hungarian partridge White litebrite dubbing, I also use orange for an attractor variation. Gold bead sized to match the hook. White Hungarian partridge wrapped to form a soft hackle type collar. Optional: lead wire sized to match the hook. This is a popular fly for both sea-run cutthroat and resident coho salmon in the Puget Sound especially during winter. It offers a representation of several marine invertibrates that serve as important food sources for trout and salmon. I have also found this to be a great general trout pattern and especially effective for squawfish on the Washington Coast. |
