Like most jig flies, this one also has almost no materials in it, so feel free to add as you need to get the fly you want. A nice addition for a buggier fly would be to add either a CDC or a few turns of some partridge for a nice soft hackle. For a bit more flashiness, try making a black thread collar and adding a bit of UTC mirage opal tinsel for a great way to get some shine.
This is a great fly to get to the bottom of any run in river systems. The glue coated body with tear drop shape allows this fly to sink quickly with little drag. The jig hook also allows this fly to drift hook point up decreasing the amount of snags while searching the bottom of the river. This is not only a great fly for sulfur nymphs on the east, but trout will eat this as a PMD on the west!
This fly is best fished with a euro rig as the point fly, but don’t think that this is the only use for it. This fly will work great under an indicator and as the dropper in a dry dropper rig. Fish this fly fairly deep, as the hook point will be less likely to get snagged on the bottom.
