December 5, 2006. The Copper John. What can't I say about this special nymph? Regardless of where and when I've been fishing, the Copper John has always proved to be the most productive. I have found that the Red or Green Copper John seems to imitate whatever it is the fish are feeding on the most. In Colorado, for example, when all else failed, I pulled out my handy dandy Copper John and voila, "Fish on!" Size 16 - 20 seem to work the most. Mr brother claims that he is going to get rid of all of his flies, except his Copper Johns--I'll believe that when I see it! Nevertheless, when all else fails, I suggest rigging up a Copper John, and you too will experience, "Fish on!"

Tight lines!
