The Usual

I tie a number of versions of Fran Betters pattern known as The Usual. Really, the only link between them is the wing made from the hair found snowshoe hare feet. I tie them upwing and downwing with all kinds of different body treatments. It is another very visible fly, even in fast water, and it sits beautifully in the surface film. I think I have caught more trout on some form of Usual than on any other single pattern.
