This weighted nymph is good for imitation Tan Caddis pupa or diving adult egg layers. It's also good for prospect nymphing and as a point fly on the end of the leader it is good for getting a little deeper in the water and helping to detect strikes on lighter weight dropper flies higher up the leader. At the end I show a variation to the hackle collar to create antennae. Try this fly in sizes #10#18. This is one of my go to flies for trout streams everywhere.
