I'll take the Paradrake. It looks way interesting. BTW, Norm, September just past my son and I fished PMDs till noon then green drakes all afternoon on the Frying Pan. Amazing day we had on "The Flats" section.

Ok after a few tries here's a paradrake. Still needs work. Size 12. As long as we had a Charlie Craven tutorial, I'll pick a Charlie Craven pattern. Next up Charlie Craven's soft hackle emerger.

Nice tie @sandan it came out cleaner than the half dozen I tried today.  It’s a tricky little fly.
