Mike Mercer's Poxyback Green Drake Nymph
HOOK: TMC 200R, sizes 10-12
THREAD: Olive
TAIL: Three grouse or hen saddle fibers, or microfibbets dark dun
BACK: Dark golden brown turkey
RIB: Copper wire
ABDOMEN: Dark brown-olive Antron
WINGCASE: Dark turkey. When fly is completed, put one drop of 5-minute expoxy on top of the wingcase and let it dry while the fly is upright.
LEGS: Grouse tied flat over thorax
THORAX: Same as abdomen. Pick out dubbing so it's fuzzy.
HEAD: Same as abdomen
It seems like there is a lot going into this fly but after you tie a couple it's really a pretty simple pattern. It should be lights out right about now dropping this guy on a tandem nymph rig or even below a big attractor fly like a klinkhammer. Hit up Penns Creek in two days when it gets down and the 500's and be prepared to pull out a couple of lunkers on this fly!
