KevCompton 0 Report post Posted February 29, 2008 Flaslightning, The original prescription does call for the trailing Krystal Flash. This variation is a more customary midge pupa pattern -- 'smut' here is probably a misnomer but refers to the original (Martin's?) pattern. Thanks for pointing it out.
