Step 3: wrap the hackle flash around the dubbing body towards the front of the fly. Tie off the end of the hackle flash and cut the tag end off. |

This fly is a very affective fly is faster moving current because it is heavy enough that it will get to the bottom where the fish are faster that other patterns. It is also a great pattern to use in situations where the may be weeds or cover because it will swim hook tip up. I have found that fishing this pattern along the bottom bouncing it along rocks works the best, but a quick stripping action also works well. The best color combinations I have found are: white/black, green/white, chartreuse/black, and brown/white.
