    Being that I’m a dork and watch the History channel I came across a phrase while watching a Wild West Tech. The California Collar was an alias for a hangman’s noose. I loved the ring of this phrase and wanted to create something that I hope will put the trout in my gallows, figuratively speaking. 

    The California Collar by the W.F.F.

    The California Collar:

    • Hook: #16 2xLong Caddis Nymph
    • Thread: 6/0 Red
    • Body: 2 Strands Black, 3 Strands Red SM Ultra Wire
    • Overbody: 3 Coats Hard as Nails
    • Thorax: Peacock Herl
    • Beard: Duck Feather Fibers tied Long
    • Head: Tying Thread

    What scenario would you fish this under? This is my first poll and feed back is welcome. Thanks
