sorry but i learned my lesson on posting flies on this forum

you only get crucified once!

it should darken after getting wet.

well yes it kinda does look like a green hares ear

but they called it a green drake in the book "fly patterns of umpqua feather merchants. who am i to argue i just followed the recipe

if its a roy palm pattern he would know of the bugs in the frying pan and roaring fork

and dubbing brushes aren't exactly new either. late 1880's.

what may be perceived as 'new' is not always the case

i have not fished it yet

i saw the pattern on pinterest and it looked easy enough to tir

couldnt a 'singapore leader' be twisted long enough to be used as a tenkara line?
