hydropsyche Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Some of you might remember on the Fly Fish Alberta forum, I posted this fly, wondering if it was a good lake pattern. Well, it is. Give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brownstone Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Is that your pattern? Looks pretty good, I know the Atlantics love yellow with a white wing..on most rivers anyways.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydropsyche Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share Posted June 3, 2007 No. Its not mine. I got it out of a circa 1986 Fly Tyer magazine. It was the author's father's favorite fly and he trolled it. I get some good luck with it hand twisted and stripped. I guess I should give the recipe. Tie black wire, black floss and yellow chenille at tail end of fly. Wrap floss forward, pull chenille under the body and wrap wire forward. Finish off with pheasant butt feather as a hackle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monger Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Try it in a few shades of green as well and you'll have a good pattern where there is sedges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
