Thread: Copper John as a dry fly?

  1. #1

    Default Copper John as a dry fly?

    No, that wouldn't work. But this is a variation I spun up to use this spring on the Skwala waters.

    I like the fly, but don't understand the post...I'm a little slow like that. this is NOT meant to float, right?

    Curtis, I explored your site a little and liked the Gut Bomb Bloodworm...the translucency... I've been trying for a damsel fly nymph with an articulated translucent body and bet you could come up with a good one.
    Here's an attempt of mine that I'm not real pleased with.

    That's actually really cool. I love the idea on the tail. I bet it could rustle up some fish. Speaking of the gut bomb, we actually tied and fished a damsel version of it. Never did a post or tutorial though. This is the only shot I have of it, but it tore up the fish.
