Anne's Stickfly

Hook - Mustad 94840, Size10-12 
Thread - Black
Underbody - Yellow dubbing, natural or synthetic
Overbody - Pale deer hair, which also forms the tail and the head 
Ribbing - Crisscrossed thread

Historical Note: This original pattern is a creation of Ann Schweigert who opened her first fly shop in Luzerne, Michigan along with her husband Jack. Ann & Jack remained in business until Jack’s death in 1985. This pattern was developed in the late 1930’s. This effective pattern is so simple it’s almost primitive. 

Tied in the style of a Cooper Bug, Devil Bug Etc

How is this pattern fished? Does it lay flush in the surface film?

Another interesting imitative wet (damp?) fly.

Hmm - I’ll bet this pattern works great for the golden stone on the Beaverkill!
Soft and wet - the only way....
