Re: Dark Cahill Palmer
very nice...a personal favorite of mine. I like rusty dun hackle, though!
Soft and wet - the only way....
Re: Dark Cahill Palmer
As my supply of rusty dun hen is non-existent, I'll have to stick with brown; the fish don't seem to care.

Re: Dark Cahill Palmer
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

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.letumgo wrote:Do you ever fish these as emergers?
