We had a lot of folks asking about this fly developed by Bruce Mardick. Here's is a picture of my version which is pretty close to the one that Bruce tied on March 10, 2012. This is a very heavy fly tied on a size 6 TMC 5263 (3XL heavy shank streamer hook). It has a tungsten cone and is wrapped with lead wire to make it drop immediately to the bottom. A large olive marabou tail with some flash, centipede legs (med), hot orange or bright red UTC wire (med) wrapped through an olive/yellow or brown saddle hackle.
This has consistently caught fish on every stream where its been used in Colorado and Wyoming.
Is this not just an Autumn splendor wooly bigger in a different color scheme??? yeah, fish like buggers...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, tied one up for the spring flows, nice color scheme!
