Wow, that is MINT! Has all the makings of a capital killer. I'd like to "circulate" a few of those this spring.

You may have come up with an instant classic here (I'm serious). Definitely worth more than a penny.

That is a great fly, I bet it does wonders in stained water too!

Tom, this really isn't just a clever play on material use, it looks like a very productive pattern that will really show its value when wet. Great post, and also very clever. kudos.

Thanks

. By all means tie some up and let me know how they do. I'm thinking in a size 16 this fly may pass for an emerging PMD to an uneducated 6 inch trout......maybe.
