lumpy Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 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. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monger Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I'm curious if the fish eat this as a real "fancy egg". Seems to be just the right color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcubed Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I'd suspect he's speaking to the Thompson proper, near Spences Bridge. Pretty classic steelhead fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangus Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I'm gonna guess. Gold tinsel Golden pheasant Hot pink chenille Magenta Polar chenille Orange saddle or schlappen. Not sure if there's a wing?
