Copper John
Cheech, April 2022
The Copper John really needs no introduction. It is among the most popular names in the world and has caught Trout almost everywhere. Designed by legendary fly tyer John Barr, it can be found in almost every fly shop in any corner of the world. One of the biggest mysteries of this fly is getting a nice even taper on the body so on this video, we made a lot of effort to show you how to do this. Make sure to tie them in various sizes and colors and run them under your favorite big dry fly.
