Millers River Bivisible, aka "The Thing"
I caught probably 85% or more of my fish on this fly this year. Brook trout, salmon parr, rainbows, browns...everybody seems to love it. I gave up on my usual EHC w/BHPT dropper because The Thing was more successful.
I got the pattern from a local guide's blog, but being a new tyer I didn't have all of the materials, so I had to make some substitutions...thus "the thing". Mainly I wanted a fly that would float well repeatedly thru the riffles and pocket water. I omitted the dubbing from the original recipe and used different colored hackle, and made the wing out of white deer hair which helps with visibility and gives it a mayfly-ish silhouette.
