Re: "McGilly Bug" Soft Hackle
Not sure with the red tag.... but I could use these as a Bee pattern for local Brown trout at a pinch, many a stomach content exam has led to the discovery of both honey bees and wasps that have been taken by trout.
Further up the country I would be happy to use this fly as is for Rainbow trout.
Great looking flies, well tied and well presented.

Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.

A very creative adaptation, Ray. Flawlessly tied as usual, and great presentation photos.
