Around here we do alot of cutthroat trout fishing. Growing up my dad was about as passionette about fly fishing as I am.
This was his favorite fry pattern. The fly in the picture was tied by him around 1950.
The mottled color imitates the body color of a 3 spike stickleback. I still tie this same pattern today.
Tied Down Minnow
Hook- Mustad 9762 #6 or #8
Thread- Olive 8/0
Body- Tin Foil from cigarette package/covered by plastic wrap from cigarette package
Back- Mallard Flank
