Hey Michael, that's correct...  It's even got a name...  It's called "The Naked Lady"...  It's a "Daiichi #1273 red, size 22 or 24...  Believe it or not it works great...  I know a fellow guide up there on the San Juan who uses it with her clients...   I use the same hook but tie on either some florescent orange or red thread...  Makes a great thread midge larva and I've caught some really nice Bows on it...  In fact that's where I'm heading in about an hour or so...  Have clients Monday and Tuesday and will fish for myself Wednesday...  Will post a report when I get back..   Rodney...

The fly was still catching fish, therefore the angler (forgot his name) decided to give it a name. The pattern is simple: hook: nymph thorax: Copper wire no thread, no...   Rene [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 6/30/2006 11:10:31 A.M.
