Thanks Doc, thanks Jeff
I'm seriously thinking of getting out my silk fly line and grease lining this season. Haven't done that since my dad passed away
This is a recreation of a pattern my dad and I used on the Thompson River in the late 50's early 60's
his reason behind the bright colors was the Thompson has a darker bottom, this would not go un-noticed.
I have added the polar chenille, not in the original
And it still works today.
Yes it is, sorry for the late response been busy
this pattern is Kelly Galluop's Circus Peanut only in white, I find white, olive, brown and black work the best
Body is UV Copper Olive Palmer Chenille
