This pattern worked wonders in the late 90’s when Lake Davis had some massive callibaetis hatches in the north end of the lake. It is still my go to fly but some times all you need is an old school Hare’s Ear. Nymphs early and late in the season are a size 16, mid season a size 14. Add a black, copper, or gold bead if you wish to fish this deep. With just one feather I can tie a half dozen of these flies. Fiery Brown works well also. Fished best under a bobber.
RECIPE:
-Hook: Tiemco 5263, sizes 14 & 16.
-Uni Thread 6/0 olive.
-Tail: stiff fibers from a brown olive Jay Fair Schlappen hackle.
-Ribbing: Dubbing loop of thread rolled into a single rope.
-Body: Webby fibers from a brown olive Jay Fair Schlappen hackle dubbed onto thread.
-Wing Case & Legs: Stiff fibers from a brown olive Jay Fair Schlappen hackle.
-Flashback: Copper Jay Fair flash.
-Wing Case Mod: A small drop of Loon UV Knot Sense.
