The Ausable Bomber is a time proven pattern across much of the fly fishing world. Where Fran Betters' patterns go, success most often time follows. His Haystack, Usual and Bomber have accounted for quite a few fish coming to hand over the years for me as well. Here is the variant to that pattern that most often fills my box.
Ausable Bomber
Hook: #10 Standard Dry
Thread: Rusty Dun 8/0 Uni
Tail: Woodchuck Guard Hairs
Wing: Bleached Calf Elk hair (or standard Calf Tail)
Body: Sunrise Orange (Hairline Dubbing Blend)
Hackle: Cree (Or Brown/Grizzly)
Sunrise Orange Dubbing Blend
1/3: #16 Hareline Hot Orange
1/3: #27 Hareline Amber
1/3: #10 Hareline Bright yellow
(Mixed with a coffeee grinder)
