My attempt at a traditional dry fly pattern based on a fly given to me by Bob Wikoff. This pattern worked magic for Bob on the upper West Branch in early June.
Hook: dry #12
Thread: rusty brown 70 denier
Tail: brown hackle fibers
Body: chocolate brown Hareline dubbin
Hackle: brown
Wing: lemon wood duck
The original:
I believe Bob used a dark dun for his hackle and tail but I didn't have a dun anywhere near that dark. Also, seems his thread was tan and not brown.
