Frenchie

This month's pattern is the Frenchie. The Frenchie was created by Lance Egan of Utah. The fly was made popular during the competitive fly-fishing tournaments held around the world. It is a classic tightline nymph tied on a jig hook with a heavy tungsten bead head. Anybody who nymphs should have a couple in their box.

Hook -  jig style size 12 to 18
Thread - red
Bead - slotted gold
Tail - pheasant tail fibers
Rib - small copper wire
Body - pheasant tail fibers
Thorax - orange or pink ice dub
