Coyote Ugly

[NJTroutbum]

The Coyote Ugly is a solid performer when drifted under an indicator for trout, bottom bounced for smallmouth or stripped retrieved as a streamer. An all-around heavy search nymph that has a permanent space in my box.

Cool nymph pattern. I had a Martin like that.

Thanks Byron. I have several in near mint. Love them. The MG-7 is probably my favorite click-pawl reel made.

These look great! I did some up for myself. Had to make a couple changles; don’t have that hook, so I went with a Mustad 3399 size 8, and I used Lifecycles Peacock dubbing instead of the Peacock Ice Dubbing.

I like it! Looks fishy.
