Take some small portions of Veniard Glister Sparkle Dubbing (PEARL) and tie each small portion one at a time, going around the hook shank in front of the glue ball. Do not overdress with sparkle dubbing. Finish head with thread. Comments Successful pattern catching Steelhead and Rainbow at local fishery. Should be good for Coho or other species. Tight Lines!

This pattern was originated and tied by Leon Guthrie of Galashiels, Scotland. You can see more of his originals at The Flies of Leon Guthrie. See his notes below.

LEON'S NOTES: Been fishing today, and catching a lot at the fishery with this one. It is far, far more superior in my opinion than the original Coho Candy so putting this one down was a Treat! Really delighted with this one. Should be excellent for Atlantic or whatever Salmon. Easy to make as well.
