SilverCreek 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2011 Looks like a variation of the Gary Lafontaine deep sparkle pupa. At the time Gary developed his pattern metal beads and CDC were not used for tying in the USA. http://www.thebookmailer.com/Flies/Emerger...parklepupa.html http://www.charliesflyboxinc.com/flybox/de...cfm?parentID=85 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johny Utah 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2011 Definitely LaFontaine-esk. It's such a shame we lost him. :down: Will Always be remembered Mr Caddis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kody 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2011 Initialy looks like LaFontaine's but actually under body is made by green clear beads/ below the antron yarn/ and when is wet the body become translucent and has distinct segmentation. Here is amber variant and body is seen more clearly: Here antron yarn is more poor but it works even better. Regards Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
