Came upon this pattern in the Bend Bulletin. A pattern called the CJ Rufus (I don't know). The pattern is pretty straight forward to tie (Wollly Bugger), but has the unique extended beard of rootbeer marabou and some flash. The fly is reputed to ride hook up, probably because of the over sized beard? The fly was offered by Gary Lewis here
I would imagine it would. I am curious if it rides hook up because of the long beard pulling it over and how it would work in moving water also. I just haven’t seen that unique step before.

I wonder if this was tied in dark colors with an orange bead, how it would fish as an egg sucking leech?
