Snow Blind
Sorry, but I couldn't resist the urge for another one. Today left the ground covered with snow and the sun shining high here in central Maryland and every time I walked inside I couldn't see a thing. I thus decided to tie flies with very little color variation. I bet this fly will crush on a river with a good whitefly hatch.

Re: Snow Blind
Liam, I know this one will do something nasty on many of my trout streams hehehe and better yet on some huge carp that live in some ponds nearby

Re: Snow Blind
Very nice! I like the white seal with the gold rib. Goes nicely together with the hackling and tail.

Re: Snow Blind
Me too. This would be a killer stillwater pattern! You should add red thread for a head. Thanks for sharing liam.Soft-hackle wrote:WOW! I'd love to see this one in the water.
