Greenwell Spiders

These are size 18 Greenwell Spiders. The last 4B hen cape I have is a Greenwell. I don't t use it often. I thought it would be fun to tie some smaller flies with it.

Heck yes. I found the love for light Yellow a few years ago. I haven't looked back.

Re: Generic Spring Caddis

Purple has never been a confidence color for me either. Last year 2 of the 3 fish that I took on soft hackles, that were over 3 pounds took Purple. By fishing patterns gathered in the swaps we have here on FAOL, I have gained a respect for purple SH's. Will it be the first color I use? Maybe.

Ken, I will update this thread as Spring progresses. Those larger PT's will be ideal for the Green Drake nymphs.

Re: Thank You Ken (FlyFisherMann1955)

Hello Wayne, Now I'm the one smiling! It's exciting to know that when I can't fish, flies I tied can still be on the stream doing what my wife calls "fish tricking". I hope the other versions of the PT I sent trick some fish too. The PT you used is my spin on the original Frank Sawyer PT;...

Thank You Ken (FlyFisherMann1955)

Ken (FlyFisherMann1955), I finally got an opportunity to go fishing since you sent me your gorgeous patterns. Midge fishing is still king here in Western Colorado. It is a tad early for baetis but with the warm, wet, overcast days, I threw one of your PT nymphs on as an attractor. I picked the small...
