    Fly Tying Copper John

    Happy New Year Everyone. Here's a fly called the Copper John, invented by John Barr. These can be tied large for anchor flies, or small for droppers. Great all around patterns, can be tied in many color and material variations such as rubber legs, hot beads, etc. Here's the recipe:

    Hook-Any heavy straight or curved shank hook
    Bead-Matching Tungsten Bead to hook size and wire color
    Tail-2 Black Goose Biots
    Abdomen-Copper Wire in Medium
    Thorax-Peacock Ice Dub
    Thorax Cover-Brown Thin Skin-Mottled
    Legs-Partridge
    Thread-Black UTC

    Gaeronf, Nice fly. I tie them with 2 different colors of wire. They look great and the fish love them too. Give them a try.
