Dan Ackroyd

Fly: Jim LaFevers, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: Gamakatsu T10-6H #6
Head: Gold Tungsten Conehead
Thread: Yellow 3/0
Tail: Ginger Marabou topped with few strands of Pearl Krystal Flash
Body: Gold Estaz or Crystal Chenille
Hackle: Ginger Saddle (Palmered)

Note: This is a gold conehead wooly bugger. I tied it for a friend who flyfishes but also likes to fish gold spoons for the large browns on Arkansas’s White River. The fish approved and he returned and asked me to tie more “Dan Ackroyds”. This fly has taken many fish ever since.
