"The Iron Lotus concept was born after searching for a great Baetis nymph pattern to fool wily western brown trout during the fall of 2006.
The Iron Lotus is extremely dense. The tungsten bead, lead wire underbody and coated thread abdomen make for one heavy fly while keeping the slim profile.
This fly is heavy! Dry/dropper and Euro–nymphing junkies will love the fast sink rate and instant contact its density provides. I've had great success with these patterns.
The Iron Lotus has several competition successes under its belt. It helped me place top 10 at the 2007 USA National Fly Fishing Championships (Boulder, Colorado), top 25 in the 2008 World Fly Fishing Championships (Rotorua, New Zealand), take the team Gold medal at the 2008 Canadian National Championships (Mont Tremblant, Canada) and the individual gold metal at the 2009 USA National Championships Qualifier (Bend, Oregon)."
