Copper John
The copper John has become a signature trout fly designed by fly tying great John Barr.  The Copper john is now tied in a variety of colors, sizes, and variations. Try adding rubberlegs, alternating the color of the bead, and/or using contrasting wire colors for the body.  If you are trout fisherman in Colorado or anywhere in the Rocky Mountains, this is a mandatory fly! Use it under an indicator or as the weight in the “Hopper-copper-dropper” set up.
