I haven't tied a hellgrammite pattern, so was looking at different patterns on the web. Most seem to me to be way too complicated for a fly that's meant to be fished on or near the bottom, resulting in a lot of lost flies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ScienceGuy141 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2023 I can take a stab at the Dahlberg diver. Can't guarantee it will be an example of what to-do, but maybe what not to-do, ha. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
