My brother in law, Roy, named my favorite fly today...The Money Maker.

 

The Fly...The fish...The legend :drunk:

Andy,

 

This is the same fly that has caught 90% of my fish this year...not an original pattern, just a variation on several.

 

Still have your addy from your swap, will see what the big bend fish think :cheers:

That does look like a good one. I think I can see the components, but a recipe would be helpful for sure.

Thanks....Fred
