When John Barr invented this fly, I think it was before the Euro Tightline Craze and its main intent was for the Hopper/ Copper/Dropper..
The Copper John was intended to weight down under a Foam Hopper (Barrs Hopper) with a small dropper (usually a small nymph dominate to the area you are fishing) ..Its a great Fly, and works well for Tightlining..

Copper and chartreuse/black are my go-to ties.

This was the 1st fly I saw being tied and the 1st one I learned to tie... and that first one took me 2 hours to tie, haha

I don't fish small stuff to much more bass larger trout patterns but that's a good one you can do well with Stone fly's crayfish

I have been tying for over 40 years and never tried it.
