My "go to" fly is a Stayner Ducktail with a beadhead. It works really well for dragging behind the float tube. I learned to tie it from the originator in the late 80's. Ruel Stayner is gone now, died in 96, but he was kind enough to teach me to tie and build rods in exchange for sweeping the floors in his little shop. I guess the memories of the ornery guy in the apron and the fact it works keep me tying this one.
