Red Headed Step Child

Description

A pattern that was invented to be a mixture of a red Copper John and a Pheasant Tail. It has been known to be an extremely effective dropper and tailwater pattern, particularly on the San Juan River. Also thought to be an excellent attractor pattern when your standard nymphs aren’t doing the trick. Be sure to use this pattern in areas where you would fish a Copper John or Pheasant Tail, particularly in the winter when the fish need a little more “flash” to get them to chase down a fly.
