around here there is a johnny darter which is kind of a barred cream color that
is imitated best by 2 patterns:

first - a mini puff (bonefish pattern) in cream.

second - a local pattern using cream marabou tail, bushy dubbed hares mask,
spun deer hair head like a muddler, with dumbell eyes.

variations on the same are all good.

key is to fish it like a sculpin: long line downstream, plenty of weight,
settled to the bottom, with slow twitches in the shallows adjacent to a good
hole.

then hang on.
