[FIN-ITE 34]

I call it "the purple".

#10 jig hook
copper tung bead
cdl tail
stripped peacock quill ab
ribbed with copper wire and purple pearl quill body
peacock bronze dub thor

This is my top secret, catch them anywhere nymph. Don't tell anybody.

[FIN-ITE 34]

It's bacically a Triple Threat. The difference is the violet pearl quill rib.

Combat city fishing at its finest. Sewer plants abound and nasty culm dump slides to navigate. You really don't want to go there.
That said, when I'm in the zone fishing, I don't see anything beyond the end of my fly line. So I could be fishing in the shadow of Fukushima and as long as I'm getting a rod bent to the handle, I don't give a tinkers damn what the scenery looks like.

Well WBDluver doesnt catch many fish so the pretty scenery is a must..

 

[WBDluver]

OUCH! I put out nothing but love and tolerance for fellow fly fishers and this is what i get in return. No doubt DC caustic influence and affected most on this board. But I will carry on despite this toxic climate.

My buddy pointed me in the direction of a spot just like this. This creek got lake run rainbows in the early spring and fall, even though many people say the rainbows in that lake have all vanished. It was pretty sweet. Not too many people knew about it, and then the city decided to make a damn walk way along most of it and ripped out a bunch of the brush that was providing cover. There were some big 4-5lb browns in there. I think they got that big from eating the stockers that washed down from upstream.

Can you post a pic of it ? I will not show anybody. Better yet how about you come with me and you hook up and I will reel them in.

Here is a link for a video done by Aaron Jasper on the Triple Threat. Note that he calls the quill a stripped turkey quill. He misspoke and it is a stripped peacock quill. He uses a brown UV pearl body quill for the rib, I use a violet pearl quill rib. You can use a regular hook as he does or a jig hook that I listed.
Easy tie but very effective. Get the Datum Glo-Brite #5 for the hot spot, it's the best.

You'll have to get the Beetle to hook the fish for you, he is the resident pro.

He stripped the Turkey quill with a pencil sharpener........:shrug:

 

[sunsignarcher]

Cool, thnks.

that was the first video I came to when you first mentioned triple threat.

i just can't bring myself to tie that stuff. I got a friend that cleans up on the guides choice HE but I just won't do it..... then again when he's not lookin I tie on that crane fly deal and go to town .

Aaron is a school teacher, must have been a rough day in the classroom.

What is it about "that stuff" you find offensive?:no: It's a bead head nymph, not some green weenie or, say it quietly, egg pattern.

 

[sunsignarcher]

Nah, not offensive, I just worded it wrong.

It's hard enough to keep your "go to's" stocked up in season, playin w/ new patterns just ain't happenin

I thought you had gone to the dark side and become one of those snobby, highbrow dry fly purist types.

 

[sunsignarcher]

No, not yet.

....then again that sure would simplify things quite a bit.
