WHITE RIVER SPECIAL
This fly was designed by Bob Krause. He fishes it down and across and then strips it back. He has most of his success with the olive colored variety. An advantabe of the White River Special over the standard wooly bugger is that it does not twist your tippet. Recently (Jan '09) Bob Jensen and Bob Krause were fishing the Norfork. They were trying everything, and being skunked. They switched to White River Specials and finished up with a great day!

Looks like a winner. ScottP I was thinking the same thing about the twisting.
It's the tippet that twists not the leader. We use 5,6,& 7X
Oh, okay; I could see that happening with tippet that thin. What do the fish take the flies for, damsel nymphs?Quote:
