Seeking Fly Recipe.

[Jax]

Hi! Is there anybody out there who has a recipe for a wet fly named Bob Dylan?
Seems this pattern has become a must have for our North Island lakes.

Would sure appreciate any help in getting a description and or Recipe. Thanks In Anticipation. Have tried Google No Go. JAX

I believe it is just a "Hare's ear Nymph" if my ageing mind is working ok!

The tail goes that Bob use to fish with that all the time, thus the name.

Check out the link, Davie is a GREAT teacher.

The pattern you seek, is stuck up in a tree, the pattern is stuck up in a tree.

I wonder why it's called the Bob Dylan? Not nearly as cool as the Ray Charles.

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind, the answer is blowing in the wind.
