Tyme Keeper 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2015 I like this pattern. You can probably use a little different body color if you had a darker deer hair too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vana2 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2015 Very nice fly pattern! Should do a good impression of a large caddis, a moth or a hopper. I am going to tie up a couple for the weekend - there is a fast-water strech loaded with smallies that this should work very well on. Thanks for sharing!
