FLYMPH FORUM

As the snow passed, things got a little brighter today and olive crept into my mind...
This is John Forde's pattern.

Western May

Hook-Kamasan B170 or Daiichi 1550 #10
Thread-Light olive Pearsall's (Pearsall's is a great thread for Irish Mays)
Tail-Natural cock pheasant
Rib-oval gold tinsel
Body-Mottled natural seal fur
Body hackle- Grizzly cock
Head hackle- 2 french partridge dyed dark olive

Sexy!

Very nice, Liam.

I like that!

The fullness of this fly tells me it would be a great fly for me in the early season. Fished actively, it'd definitely haul in some fish.
