Hook: Size 16 to 20

Tail: Grizzly hackle fibers.

Body: Gray dubbing.

Wing post: White Antron.

Parachute: Grizzly hackle.

Tip: Here’s your cheater fly for winter. If you see fish feeding on the surface, it’s probably baetis or midges. This imitates both, but will have to use a small size, and it’s not easy to tie it on in dim light. This fly is one of the most useful generic flies. I know more than one experienced angler who will just carry these and use them for any hatch and get more specific only if the fish refuse it.
