Well, signed up a couple months ago and havn't posted since (too busy reading and learning)This is a pattern that I've had some success with latley and I'm sure everyone here fishes. It's amazing to me something so simple is so effective. It is super easy to tie, sinks really well, and sticks fish.

Hook: #16
Bead: Gunmetal Tungsten
Weight: .15 lead wire (6-7 wraps)
Tail and Abdomen: Olive Pheasant tail (4 fibers for tail,break one off and wrap body with 3)
Ribbing: Extra Small Copper Ultra Wire
Collar-Peackock Ice Dub
Hot Spot- Fire Orange Thread

This one has been a great anchor fly. Heavy,Buggy,Flashy

Hook: Partridge Klinkhammer #16 (really big for a #16, more like a 12)
Bead: Big Gunmetal Tungsten Bead
Weight: A bunch of lead wire wraps (pretty much cover most of the hook).
Tail/Legs: Hungarian Partridge
Abdomen/Thorax: Kauffman's Golden Stone Dubbing
Ribbing: Small Red Ultra Wire
Flashback/Wingcase: Large flash
-I also put a streak of UV Knot Sense all the way down to the tail of the fly. Kind of makes the flash stand out and bulletproofs the fly. The one in the picture is a little banged up, it's stuck a few fish.
