I’m going to pinch that pattern. One of my goals this winter is to replenish my trout flies. I love fishing for high-altitude brook trout in NE Oregon and that pattern would work well.Found a Cutthroat Candy fly a while back on Larry Jurgens’ site; vintage 60’s Colorado pattern. Similar to Bongoman’s, just with a Trude wing.

I’ve been having some luck on SRC lately with this pattern. The Pat Cohen mono trick keeps the bunny tail foul free. Since they are unweighted, you can fish them super slow to crawl across the bottom without hanging up on an intermediate line. That works great when fishing more natural colors to imitate polychaete worms.

Lou - If you don't mind would you explain the hardware construction of this fly? The tippet tie in and the rest of the steel? Thanks//Pat
You bet.
That technique works much better then any of the other techniques I've tried using mono to avoid the bunny tail fouling.
The bunny still swims well using his technique.

Oh wow that is brilliant!

This is the chassis, that’s 15lb braid and 3.8mm tungsten black bead in the front.
Do not use that Core hook, it’s soft as shit
I bought it to try out but have delegated it to a sacrificial role, snip the hook bend when you’re done.
