Hope this works. Its been awhile since I have posted pictures
Got a Nikon on clearence and wanted to try it out.
So here is the PANFISH CHARLIE; Olive is by far the best producer in streams and white in ponds.
Hook - 9671 Mustad size 10, any 2x nymph hook
Thread - color to match wing. Here I'm using UTC brand size 140.
Eyes - Bead Chain
Weight - 10 to 12 wraps of .01 lead (optional)
Tail - Pearl lite bright or equivalent
Body - Ice Dub (can use super fine with chopped tail material mixed 50/50)
Wing - Marabou (original used rabbit)
Crush barb and tie in eyes on top of hook.
Wrap weight (optional) and tie in small clump of tail material. Trim to about 1/4 inch long. After flash more than movement.
Dub and wrap body. I prefer to use a dubbing loop. I feel I have better control.
Turn fly over and tie in wing. Length should be to the end of the tail. Wrap head.
Now go out and catch some smallies.
