FLYMPH FORUM

Maybe a March Brown/Cahill suggestion, but either intended as an imitation or attractor, I like the overall vitality of this one. Especially on this light wire fished as a drowned or crippled dun in the film. The "orange color" thread going on now, prompted the orange colored thread. Maybe there will be a little orange glow in the surface.

Very nice fly, William.
I agree,"March Brownish" looking. Might have to add a few of these to the box.

Good to see it has orange in it mate

Exemplary fly, Mr. Anderson! Gosh that is pretty...

you had me at speckled....

Thanks for the kind remarks. I may be in a kind of a rut. I tied a few of these with a yellowish dubbing and a rust thread that I think will be as effective. I can at least attest to a number of catches over a long period of time on that variation. It's not a reaction to the hyper-analysis of the color orange. Sometimes a color is just pretty.
