    Default Some Flies Just Plain Work

    I am sure I have posted about this fly before, but am getting ready for my fishing trip in a couple of weeks and got a few of these out. This is a Rusty Para Spinner which was tied by Bob Jacklin of Jacklin's Fly Shop in West Yellowstone. The fly is not a "picture perfect" fly. Even Bob admits it may be taken for more than one possible insects......but, it really does work.

    The size is either a 10 or 8...not sure. I can attest to the fact that it works on nice Browns on the Madison. It floats like a cork, as they say and is really visible at quite a distance.

    Sadly, I think I notice rust on the hook. He tied and sent them to me back in December. That's the problem with living on Kauai. Things tend to rust quickly.
