Fly of the week

We are going to start doing a fly of the week. I am hoping to hit some flies that I feel are good for the conditions.

The first fly we are going to feature is the copper John. It can be used as a traditional nymph or stripped like a streamer. It also has both wire and a bead head making it sink without split-shot. Here is the recipe for it: Hook:3761 or 5262, sizes 10-18 weight to suit Head: gold bead Thread: Black Tail: brown turkey biot, V style Abdomen: copper ultra wire Thorax: peacock hurl Legs: brown partridge, tied divided style. Let me know what types of flies you want to see in this. We are going to be doing one a week as well as our other posts about fishing conditions.
