Ben's version features a sexy white on chartreuse design accentuated by prominent red dumbbell eyes. These heavy eyes create a distinctive bobbing and weaving action as the fly is retrieved, making it irresistible to hungry fish. Tune in to learn the intricacies of tying this classic pattern and elevate your fly fishing game.
