Lite Brite Stone
(by wongrs)
Weight: non-lead wrap
Tail: Brown Biots
Abdomen: Pearl Core Braid
Thorax: Ice Dub (most colours work)
Wing Case: Goose Feather (flash back works also)
Legs: Brown (Yellow barred ideal)
Suggested Use: Fast moving water such as fast runs and/or riffles. The flash and size of the fly catches the attention of the fish. Fish in faster water have a limited time to decide. I usually high stick nymph as the first fly with a mayfly nymph dropper.
