for Madame X
Hook: 3xl dry fly. Mustad 94831
Thread: 3/0
yellow
Body, tail, and wing: Deer hair stacked
Legs: Yellow rubber
Hackle: Brown and grizzly mixed.
The Madame X is a bullet-head attractor fly, created by Doug Swisher
The rubber legs, bushy wing
and tail, and silhouette gives this fly the look of a lively insect.
It can be tied in different colors and types of material (the fly above
has his original dressing).
Madame X fishes well in all types of water for many species of fish.
On the Wood River, when the evening hatches have ended and well into
dark, the Madame X can draw some smashing strikes.
