Tying Instructions

While fishing the Trinity River, I kept switching back and forth between a little olive mayfly nymph and a dark yellow/gold stonefly. Instead of changing them all the time, I developed a fly based on standard mayfly and stonefly shapes with an olive color. It didn’t come out like I wanted it to, but I found that I had come up with quite a killing little pattern! Oh, well, they say Gore-Tex was an accident, too. I have had reports that this fly works well from MI to NC to WA and all over. It is my number one fly on Bluegill, and my favorite big water mayfly searcher. |
