Friday Night Flies – Olive Copper John
This is a variation on John Barr’s Copper John and can be tied in various colors just like the original. I personally enjoy very “buggy” flies so that is why I ended up with the combination of pheasant tail fibers and picked out dubbing. It really doesn’t get any buggier than that!
