Old Faithful
These are flies that sink slowly once wet due to their absorbing characteristics. during a stripping retrieve it has a side to side action that imitates baitfish or tadpoles. The Old Faithful has a almost gummy feel to it that causes fish to hold on. Pike, Bass and even Salmon have been caught with these.
Size 2 hook.
slow sinking (when wet).
Recommended Technique:
7wt fly rod will cast this fly well. Cast out and allow fly to sink slightly (will absorb water). Slow stripping with slight rod tip twitches bring this fly to life and cause it to swim like a swimbait. (before first cast i soak the fly boat side to help it sink right away). After you are done using this fly carefully squeeze the body out to promote quick drying.
