PerchSubsurface
The most versatile perch fly ever tied. Olive and black are the two essentials. Stripped fast it is a fleeing baitfish; swung slow it is a hovering leech; fished figure-of-eight along the bottom it is a foraging benthic something.
Fish this when
When you do not know what else to try. Olive over weed and clear water; black for low light, dirty water and canal sessions.
