The Allen J100 BL - Jig Style
 |
| The Diving Sparrow |
In the past few weeks, I've been messing around with a few different styles of small nymphs tied on the Allen J100BL. I like the hooks for their sharpness and, of course, the fact that the hook rides point-up (as I've verified in testing). The other little facet of this pattern is that it will drop (i.e. dive) pretty fast in even fast water.
We took it out for a spin the other day and it did very well nymphing up a few nice little brown trout.

The fly is pretty fun to tie and has a few little unique features with the wing-case and the biot side-panels.
