Fly Pattern of the Day - the "Cutty Killer"


I was digging through a couple of things today and came across this well used fly last night and thought this would be a great post, as this is killer cutthroat pattern on the St. Mary's River in British Columbia. Those slow rising buggers just love to foam and lots of rubber legs twitching. This fly has lots and lots of legs to twitch.

Give it a try if your up that way, a terrific river. Should be on your TO DO List
