Notes

Tied on a copper bead with olive thread body, copper wire rib and fluorescent fire orange thread wing pads. Mike fished it under an indicator and also dangling close to the bottom at Corbett Lake, Knouff Lake and lakes north of Highway 24. He is not sure the wing pads make a difference but gained confidence fishing the pattern.
