Green Drake Emergers

Post by 1Equinoxclan » Tue Jun 06, 2023 8:54 am

This Mustad 3x long curved #12 is allows tying around the bend, maybe giving the tail the illusion of movement. Ill soon see what effects these Green Drake patterns have on the fish.

Thanks Steve

1Equinoxclan, Howdy;

Need to re do the image. The description sound very good.

Those are amazing and your spinners are something I will attempt to copy.
I've been chasing Drakes as they progress up a tail water system for a week and those flies would crush.

I like sparsely tied flies.

Wow! Those look buggy for sure. I'm surely going to copy those and try them on the Cache La Poudre. I have this gut feeling they'll work really well.

Nice simple pattern for the big bugs. The attention to detail is obvious. Thanks for sharing this one.
