Capt Bob LeMay 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2022 I used to tie a tarpon fly in those same colors (blue collar, orange and yellow tail) as that Winter's Hope pattern... It was very popular among the shops I was fillling orders for a bit more than 30 years ago... That Wiinter's Hope is very nicely done... hopper Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Winter's Hope is a wonderful crossover pattern...I've tied it in smaller sizes for SRC and used it on warm water species as well...Thinking about tossing it off the beach for who knows what!!!
