Hook: Mustad 9672, #4 - 12
Thread: UTC 140 Denier, Black
Body: 2mm Closed Cell Foam
Wing: Deer Hair, Natural
Legs: Round Rubber legs, Medium

The Mr. Peanut is another fun and quick Hopper pattern. Because of the two layers of closed cell foam this fly floats high on the water and has a broad profile. As simple as this fly is to tie you can tie all sorts of color variations for needed fishing situations or for personal preference. Smaller sizes (#10 & #12) are great for panfish! -- Enjoy
