Most of these nymph patterns are tied a little bigger in size 6 and 8, but rarely do you see any tied in size 10. The coffee color ones seem to be the go-to fly for the White River located in Arkansas. I also like having a little attractor to the pattern, that’s why I added the fluorescent orange bead. I leave the legs longer because sometime the trout like them longer, but always have a pair of scissors or something you can trim the legs down with. Another terminology for this fly is also called Pat’s Rubber Leg. Either way, very fishy bug in our river systems.

How To Rig –

I usually fish this fly on 4x fluorocarbon tippet with a 7.5 foot leader that also ends in 4x. The best times are the summer months for sure, but I’ve used it all the way until November on the Norfork. This pattern can be fished throughout the water column, and I have found it to work better if the pattern is suspended off the bottom. I like fishing it somewhere in the middle to higher up in the water column. This is by far the best color, but make sure you check out the other ones, because if it’s on here, it works!!
