{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Dingle Johnson fly pattern

I've had a few PMs asking how to fish it -- I prefer a downstream swing, with mends to control the speed of the drift.  

The "Swinging Dingle" is what I call it.

I have all of these things! And two-months of experience to boot. Here I thought I was just completely screwing up every damn pattern I tried when I should have just been naming all these "new" flies after myself.

Lesson learned.

Per the recent thread about swimming in the tank at Cabela's, I present the Dingle Johnson.  

It might look like a beadhead PT nymph with a "hot spot" collar and a generous CDC wrap...but don't confuse it with a frenchie or a CDC PT nymph.  

Mine clearly has a shorter tail.  

Since I "know" this stuff now, here are the things you need to name a new, creative fly pattern after yourself:

1.  Arrogance

2.  Charlie Craven's Basic fly tying book

3.  Iced coffee

4.  A t-shirt (you should wear a shirt when tying, we aren't savages)
