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!
