This is the first of 2 flies I created to tie at the FFI International Fly Fishing Fair In Boise, Idaho about a week ago. I made it to be an easy to tie generic mayfly.

Besides casting long leaders in many directions in strong winds, you just need to put a lot of tension on a furled leader butt pulling the hook out...

I fish a 2 or 3 fly cast about 90% of the time and enjoy the results. As I stated before http://www.flymphforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7147&p=83342&hilit=Fishing+Tandem+Flies#p83342 this is a good book on the subject https://www.amazon.com/Fishing-Tandem-Flies-Tactics-Techniques/dp/0979...

Ray,

I love the pattern!
