This is a soft hackle nymph I can up with a couple years ago. Its like other patterns, I just substituted materials to get the look I wanted. Its unweighted, and I have fished it on a floating line with and 8ft-9ft leader. I think it would do great on a nymph rig or on a sink tip swung. I had really good success with it on high mountain lakes in Washington state. Lately I have been using it for panfish with great success.

Hook: Size 12-16 nymph hook (short shank)
Thread: Black thread
Tail: Black saddle hackle fibers
Rib: Medium gun metal blue ultra wire
Body: Black halo tinsel
Thorax: Black with red and blue fleck ice dub
Collar: Black saddle hackle
