I like that blue dragon fly, Cream. What the heck is that second fly? It's definitely a buggy looking fly ... but there's a LOT going on there.

This fly is known as the "Yeller Hammer." It is a local Appalachian fly and was originally tied with the wing feather (the hackle) of the yellow flicker. It is now illegal to kill a flicker or to even possess the feathers from one. Many other feathers have been used including dove or quail wing feathers died yellow. I have found ordinary duck wing quills to be very good, and the trout don't seem to mind. I believe I have talked about this fly in posts gone by. I caught some rainbows yesterday in the GSMNP with this fly and they really nailed it. Sorry for the poor photograph, but it is what it is.

It's a Fly Fish Food pattern they call the Grumpy Frumpy.

Thanks, Mike. I fished the blue damsel a little on Sunday and the panfish approved. It was a pretty successful debut.
