This fly was shown to me about 20 years ago by a fella named Jake Ricks. Along with his Better Baetis pattern, he has allowed us to tie this fly on video. The coolest thing about this fly is that you can change up colors and sizes, and implement this on any midge pupa! My favorite colors are cream, black, red, and brown and I tie them in about 16 to 22.
