Notes
Bill Lee fishes this small minnow pattern for cutthroat in slow moving water on the Fraser, Harrison and other Fraser Valley streams, especially in January, February and March. He uses a floating line with a 15 to 20 foot leader and gets most strikes at the end of the swing or during the retrieve, using slow 6 to 8 inch pulls that speed up near the end. The fly stops producing once fry begin to emerge and fish target the larger naturals.
