Love's Lure (wet)

Fly: John Nicholls, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: 10 to 16
Thread: Black
Tail: Peacock Sword
Body: Peacock Herl
Wing: Peacock sword
Throat: Black hackle fibers

Note: Fantastic little fly that works well on still waters. Probably taken for a beetle or something similar as a dry. The wet version is an effective pattern to retrieve slowly over weedbeds. Possibly imitates a small snail. A black bead headed version in size 16 works well in streams.
