Found this over on Ward Bean's warmwater site. Supposed to be a bluegill pattern (what fly isn't a bluegill pattern?); looks like it could work elsewhere, too.


hook - Dai Riki 280 #10
underbody - non-tox .025 (optional)
thread - Danville 6/0 brown
tail - pheasant rump
rib - x-small wire copper
body - peacock herl
wing - pheasant rump
hackle - Indian hen


Regards,

Nice tie Scott! Nice easy pattern, would be a good one for teaching new tiers.

Switched to salmon iron, added a gold tinsel tag, swapped the hen hackle with pheasant rump - and it's pretty much a Carey Special
