Big Blue Frog 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2008 Took a fly-tying class at a local fly shop, and the guy teaching the class showed us a streamer fly with a natural woodduck flank tail, dubbed yellow-green body and a soft grizzly hackle. He called it a "Mustard Green" and said it's a fly that was fished in streams in Virginia. Anybody ever heard of it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Blue Frog 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2008 Did they mean Chartreuse?? tyrite No, the syllabus specifically says "Mustard Green" in caps like that's the name of the fly. The color of the body is not chartreuse either. It's a muted yellow-green. I think we used Hexegenia green Antron sparkle dubbing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
