The Berry BEST for Last (Sunday)

[cool][#0000ff]In Kyle's defense I think the minnow hackles are for his other family members. He's a good boy.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I started tying the "Copper Pat" jigs several years ago for Kyle and others who hit the Boulders a lot for the big brookies, tigers and cutts down there. Since then I have adapted most of the colors into lookalike fly patterns...mostly on size 4 and 6 hooks. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]The copper is made with metallic copper chenille body, root beer marabou tail and is palmer wrapped with your choice of hackle...light brown, dark brown or?...The one in the pic below was wrapped with a brown dyed grizzly hackle. Looks darker in the pic than on the fly. And the root beer marabou usually turns darker when wet.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Browns and gingers have long been favorites on Strawberry and other waters. I have been doing well on Deer Creek with them for rainbows and other species.[/#0000ff]
