Go 2 Nymph

I first saw this pattern when I was at the fly shop in St. Albans.  Mr. Lewis showed me the Go2 series out of a fly fisherman magazine from years past.  He said it is a twist on some regular patterns.  I now have great success on the Pheasant Tail version.  Rick Takahashi is the creator of them (as well as the RS2, which is a great series of flies, too).  I used this fly for the first time on a Fayette County stream and caught several fish.  I regularly attach a dropper (#18 Brassie) to the fly.
