Hybrid Imitator

This fly is a cross between a Royal Wulff, Royal Trude, Parachute Adams or Humpy, Spinner, and my own Wonder Bug.  I tied it for the dog days of summer and it works well to bring larger fish to the surface.  Out performs a Royal Wulff I believe because of the great silhouette it presents in the water – to see what I mean look at it from the underside with a light above as shown in the last picture above.
