Thanks. The patch of tippet I was using is light on the backside; I wanted a more uniform color so I dyed it with Rit Sunshine Orange.

Regards,
Scott

Very nice, thank you.

Madsen - Earl Madsen designed this fly pattern sometime between 1930 to 1945 and named by fellow tyer Paul Young.  It was designed for "picky" fish and is best fished early mornings during the hot, mid-summer months.  There is a variation of this fly that is actually more popular than this original that that uses grey wool or floss for the body and grizzly wing and hackle.

Thread - black

Tail - wood duck flank fibers

Rib - brown hackle, palmered

Body - Emerald green yarn, tied full

McClain's Drake - This pattern was first tied in the mid- to late 1940's by lifelong Jerry McClain, a lifelong resident and river guide from Grayling, MI.  Jerry came across the main material for this fly by accident.  He left a WW II sweater on the line a little too long and the sun-bleached yarn was used in the tying of this pattern.  Considering that Chadwick's yarn used in Frank Sawyer's Killer Bug is so rare to find - try finding the yarn from one sweater!  Lion's Brand Wool Ease Chunky yarn, Walnut #127 was a good substitute and, of course, this yarn has been discontinued!  This pattern can be tied in any size and is good anytime there are dark colored flies on the water.

Hook - Mustad 94831, 8-10

Thread - black

Tail - small clump of PT fibers

Body - yarn from a sun-bleached WW II sweater, tied with a loop tied just beyond the bend of the hook - this is NOT intended to be an egg sack

Post - hackle tips, any color (popular colors include green, orange, and purple) -- I used poly above

Hackle - brown and grizzly, mixed and tied parachute
