Monquarter 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2011 Many of our rivers fish well with green-coloured flies. Here is one of my favorites for fishing early run salmon especially on a bright day. The fly originated in the the U.S.A. many decades ago but still sees a lot of use nowadays. Some tie it with orange or other colored bodies. I prefer the fluorescent green one. I tie the body in three distinct sections- rear floss section, then mid body butt, then front section. I think the hackle is a touch too long but this one would work just fine in the right situation. The original fly used dyed monga ringtail. I "cheated" and used dyed grey squirrel tail. Comments, questions, or critiques, fire away! Marc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
