Tying Instructions

Instructions This fly can be
found all through the Smokies and it is commonly mistaken for sulfurs.  The
ones seen on the Holston (TN) are large and almost white.  We begin seeing
them early in the season at the time the crane fly hatches.

 



The fly at right
is called West Prong Lt. Cahill.  The bottom picture is a Parachute Lt.
Cahill.
