Easy pattern to tie and highly effective.

but I do use it a lot. My favorite is a chamois caddis. I also like a beadhead birds nest a lot and I have a bunch of other small baetis nymphs.

I use the Shop Vac and also bought my first one at Blue Ribbons. I believe that I read about on here first.

I think the fish take it for a caddis larvae. It works well on the Madison.

Instead of a gold bead, i use a copper tungsten bead and also use copper wire. Gives it more weight. Caught a few fish on the Provo with it also. As Dave said, easy fly, but effective--if you are willing to stoop to nymph fishing.

Hey! That ain't no phone, that's a blueberry.... ;-)

Shop vac, mop vac. Retire the silly small stuff & toss off with a "yellow yummy" or my personal favorite "Cheating".

peace

Didn't the "berry" co. almost go down in a lawsuit? Settled didn't they?

"Cheatin" not "Cheating", get it right. Me can't wait to "cheat" this weekend.

A 16's small? That's about the biggest fly in my box. (Maybe that's why I only catch itty bitty wuss fish ...)
