Tying Instructions: Materials are tied in the order listed. Different flash colors under larva lace colors will produce a wide array of results. The Clear lace over gold flash on the left has been especially good for me.


Presentation Tips: This is a simple scud or pupae pattern that catches light very well in the water. It's best fished with a dead drift.
