That'll fool some fish. I remember fishing with Letumgo on the firehole last year and a Flav emergence was coinciding with PMD's.. wish I had this fly when those Flav's popped. Looks great!

That was a great day...

Thank you Charlie, for sharing a proven pattern with us. Lovely Flymph. Do you fish this with other flies (team), or as a single fly? What is you favorite method to fish this?

Ray,

I usually fish an emerger 18-24" behind an indicator fly. So I might have an a Flav dry fly (Sparkle Dun usually) with the Flav Flymph trailing behind. I have been known to tell other fishermen that the secret is the distance between the two patterns rather than try to explain what a flymph represents

I'll fish this pattern right in or just under the surface film dead drift.

What time of the year did you guys fish the Firehole?

Mid June in 2014. It was fabulous *wrist flop *
