Pattern Description

This is another in the series from Charlie Craven of Charlie's Fly Box.

The Flashback Jujubaetis is a natural off-shoot of the Jujubee Midge. I came up with this pattern after theorizing that fish were taking my darker Jujubee Midges as baetis nymphs. All I really did was add a tail to the existing pattern to start but have more recently added a strip of mylar across the back of the wingcase for the flashback. I believe that this flash helps the pattern stand out a little and makes it more attractive to the fish. I fish the Jujubaetis as a nymph along the bottom mostly, but have used it up top behind a dry fly with no weight on the leader with a fair bit of success as well. This pattern is really easy and quick to tie and will fill up the box pretty quick. Crank a few out so you have a different look to show them next time you're out.

The Juju series of flies by Charlie has been productive in the Sacramento River at various times of the year and deserve a spot in your fly box. All materials used here are available for mail order from Charlies Fly Box
