E-Z Antron damselfly nymph

This fly was shown to me by an old fly tier I met this year.  He swears by it and says it out-fishes everything else at Georgetown.  It is ugly, easy, and apparently effective.  I'll report back after a field test coming soon.
E-Z Antron damselfly nymph
























Hook: Size 14-10 (12 for G-town) nymph
Thread: 6/0 black or green
Ribbing: Small diameter copper or gold
Eyes:  Bead chain, burned mono, or the plastic ones
Body: Antron yarn tied in in clumps folded over and wrapped with the wire, one at a time

I was told to fish this on a sinking line with a slow strip retrieve, swimming the fly just off the bottom.  If you have never fished Georgetown Lake, Montana, you should.
