Dry Fly · Trout · Beginner · 1 version

Mini

  • Hook Wide-gape barbless nymph/grub hook (Hanak 900BL or Fulling Mill grub), #10-12
  • Thread Fluorescent orange 70 denier UTC

Materials

  • Foam tail/arse Small booby-foam cylinder (about 5-6mm) at the rear (1)
  • Body FNF Jelly Fritz 10mm, fluorescent pink and fluorescent yellow (ham & cheese) (1 length each)

How to tie it

  1. Tie in the small booby-foam cylinder at the REAR of the hook over the bend for buoyancy.
  2. Tie in the fl. yellow Jelly Fritz just ahead of the foam and take 2-3 turns.
  3. Tie in the fl. pink Jelly Fritz and wrap it forward in touching turns to behind the eye; tie off (pink and yellow combined make the ham & cheese blend).
  4. Build a small head, whip finish, and pick out the fritz into a round pink/yellow blob.
