The Slate Drake Bomber is the only other Bomber style pattern I tie and fish here in the Northeast. It is my choice of flies for pocket water when fishing the Drakes.
Slate Drake Bomber Recipe

(Note: pattern and tying video remains the same as the Ausable Bomber. Only the colors are changed to match the local Slate Drake hatch)
