Good Day,

 

Shhh... ancient Chinese secret... Or, pearl mylar. Really makes them "pop"!

May I add, glow in the dark pearl, as my ancient Chinese secret. Cheers, Jeff.

I tied a half dozen of these and hit the river yesterday with them in the box. I addded a bit of CDC in the winging and used crystal flash under clear olive larvae lace. the crystal flash under the lace, simulates the little air bubbles emergers carry with them to the surface. Of the 4 browns I landed, 2 were on this pattern. It's now a proven fly for me. Thanks for sharing.

Good Day,

 

Speaking of "glow in the dark"... I also tie a caddis pupae using one of those egg shaped rubber glow beads usually used for walleye or saltwater fishing as the abdomen of the pupae.
