Notes
Stan Ogden's cutthroat pattern, a woolly bugger variant with a silver chenille rib, is fished on rivers with a natural drift and an occasional twitch, especially in February when the water is clear and cold. The tail should be about as long as the body and should snake through the water on the retrieve like a leech or eel. In lakes, a bead or lead-wrapped head can be added to make the fly rise and fall, and it also takes rainbows and coho.
