I was never one for using attractor nymphs made almost completely out of synthetic materials. My opinion of them has changed in recent years. This is one of those attractor patterns that have been very successful for me. It was developed by Mr. James Cooper from Mississauga, Ontario.
Begin by placing copper bead on hook. Wrap thread from bead to hook curve. Tie in 2 strands of red Krystal Flash. Tie in copper rib. Tie in 3 – 4 strands of Pearl Krstal flash and wrap forward to bead. Fold 2 strands of red Krystal Flash forward along the back of fly and tie off at bead. Rib the fly. Tie in a couple strands of peacock herl and wrap thorax behind bead. Tie off
and whip finish.
