A combination of many patterns, the FB2B Hellgrammite is an attractive imitation of one of the region's most interesting insects.  Weighted by a dumbbell eye, the fly swims upside down to avoid snags and improve motion.  The main body of the fly is a custom-trimmed suede from Eastern Trophies Fly Fishing.  Forming the underbody is a thick wrapping of olive dubbing with multicolor inclusions.  Four legs are tied down in the middle with ends facing forward and backward to make movement more erratic.  A pair of brown goose biots is then tied in the front of the fly to act as pincers.
