I am going to tie a fly called a "fuzz puppy." My friend Rick gave me a clinic today. Tomorrow he is going off to buy me some material. I found the leach is a piece of black zonker strip for the tail, and a two tone (red with black tip) cross cut rabbit strip wound for the body and a tungsten bead for a head. A fuzz puppy is another favorite with bead chain eyes, holographic tinsel ribbing, marabou tail and rabbit fur dubbing. It looks like a damselfly larva pattern, but he says no. It's another fly to try in the same category as leaches and wooley buggers. Rick worked for a sporting goods store I frequented growing up, and I love listening to him talk about this stuff.
