FISHING METHOD:
I have fished this
pattern with both floating and sinking lines. In shallow water, use a slow
pull retrieve with several short 2 to 4 inch pulls every 15-20 seconds. On
sinking lines let the fly sink near the bottom before you start your
retrieve. I use a 3 to 4 second full hand twist with several 2 to 6 inch
pulls to retrieve the fly. Try trolling this fly with a sinking line.
