Last week I went fishing for smallies for the first time this year and noticed I was down to one measly diver. Time to get tying. This one's a size 2 on a Gamakatsu B10S. There's a laser dub collar but it almost disappeared under the deer. The belly is all rusty orange and the top is a mix of brown, olive and dingy yellow. There's a local creek that runs really clear this fly's destined for. The bass in it seem to really like these colors.
