Here we will be tying the fly Copper John by a request from the audience The Copper John is an attractor fly that works often amazingly well like some other flies like Brassie and similar patterns from the Brass family. The Copper John was invented in 1993 by a man named John Barr. The fly is a great option for both stream and lake fishing. The fly catches both brown trout and arctic char. Simple to tie and totally worth keeping a few in your box when you go fishing. I've caught some real trouts on the Copper John.
