FLYMPH FORUM

.

very nice...a personal favorite of mine. I like rusty dun hackle, though!

As my supply of rusty dun hen is non-existent, I'll have to stick with brown; the fish don't seem to care.

Scott - Do you ever fish these as emergers? As I study the fly, I started thinking about different ways to fish the fly. Untreated, it will fish beautifully as a wet fly. The palmered hackle will give the fly a nice slow sink rate.

It may be sacrilege, but I would be temped to also dress the wing with a drop of floatant, to make the fly hang in the surface film.

Lovely fly, btw.

I can detect absolutely no trace of any senior moments in your slow twitch fibers, Scott . Very nicely done.

Missed the fall drakes in the NE corner of YNP but I hope to swing them when the March Browns come out next spring; colors may be off a bit but the fish aren't super picky.
