Fly Tying Tutorial: Heavy Metal Rubber Leg Copper John

The original Copper John is a staple in most fly boxes - the Heavy Metal Rubber Leg Copper John is a next-generation take on this classic fly pattern. (flymenfishingc...)
Using the Nymph-Head Heavy Metal tungsten beads that are 15% heavier than standard tungsten beads of the same size and come in a wide array of colors, the possibilities for this pattern are endless. You can fish it in a variety of ways, from fishing it as an anchor fly in a Euro setup to a regular attractor under an indicator, fish this fly DEEP - trust me, it will get there.
