This pattern is Larry's newest and can be tied in several colors. It uses Hareline's Ice UV dub and Holographic Mylar Motion. Use gold beads for a different look or a silver bead with siver dub and silver motion for a great attractor. Black and green works well for Baetis and a red one with a black bead is a good Red Quill nymph. Sizes #14 to #22 are best. Larry has them in Black (above), Gold, Red, Silver, Emerald, and Purple.

Curtis' High Voltage PT
| RECIPE |
HOOK: 1X long nymph hook 14-20; TMC3761 |
- Place bead on hook and start thread run to hook bend. Tie in tail; move thread back up shank to bead and tie in both pieces of wire. Wrap wire to hook bend and break or cut off. Tie in wing case where wire starts and whip a thread lock; be very conservative with thread wraps at this point so bead can be pushed over this spot. Move bead into thorax and fold wing case over bead. Tie in hackle placing two wraps in front of bead and whip finish.
This is an incredible new pattern from Curtis Andrews. It matches hot wire colors in a Pheasant Tail profile and fishes "lights out" for Baetis, Red Quills, and Caddis in appropriate sizes and colors. The Yellow/Orange combination in a #16 is a very strong Yellow Sallie pattern.
Danny Boy
| RECIPE |
Hook: 1x long nymph |
- Tips:
- Tie in tail, then ribbing, attach tinsel just in front of tail. Wrap Uni-Stretch in slight taper. Cover with tinsel, then rib. Hackle and finish. This fly should be slim and sparse. We like them in smaller sizes than traditional wets, #16 being a good average
One of Larry's best wet fly patterns that fishes very well through BWO hatches.
Dry Ice Drake
| RECIPE |
Hook: TMC 100 #10/12 |
