Carleton County Nick 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2010 Was out fishing tonight for Atlantic Salmon. I was using some normal fall patterns, but was told about a Yellow Slime and have also heard of a Green Slime. I cannot find these flies anywhere so I can see what I need to tie. I'm kicking myself now as I could have just asked to see one closer. Looked like a hairwing but i didn't get a look at the body. Has anyone heard of a Yellow Slime and/or have any pics? I looked on the pattern database but can't seem to find anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Nick Here is a picture of the Slime And if you want a reference get hold of Mike Crosbys book "River Talk" In there is also the pattern description.
