This Mustad 3x long curved #12 is allows tying around the bend, maybe giving the tail the illusion of movement. Ill soon see what effects these Green Drake patterns have on the fish.

Thanks Steve

Those are amazing and your spinners are something I will attempt to copy.
I've been chasing Drakes as they progress up a tail water system for a week and those flies would crush.

Well done!
I like sparsely tied flies.

Wow! Those look buggy for sure. I'm surely going to copy those and try them on the Cache La Poudre. I have this gut feeling they'll work really well.

Nice simple pattern for the big bugs. The attention to detail is obvious. Thanks for sharing this one.
