For
this session, Catch Cormier will lead us in tying the "Countach Nymph
Plus". Or "Knuckle Dragger Plus". The story is that Clark "Cheech"
Pierce created the Countach Nymph while John Newbury created an almost
identical fly called the Knuckle Dragger. When the two were both named
to the Fulling Mill Pro Staff, they learned of each other's fly. And had
a good laugh. Great minds think alike!
Whatever you decide to
call it, definitely include the "Plus". The plus is the addition of
antron in the abdomen and a tiny marabou tail. Catch says the original
is a killer for trout and bream, but the "Plus" version is 🔥
Materials to be used:
- hook: barbless jig, size 12 (Gamakatsu J20-B, Fulling Mill 5045)
- bead: 1/8" tungsten, black nickel
- legs: grizzly flutter legs, rootbeer (1 strand)
- abdomen: antron dubbing, color Rust or March Brown
- thorax: micro pine squirrel zonker, color Rust
- ribbing: midge diamond braid (twisted), color tan or pearl or rootbeer
