DUBBN,

In the 60's, it was the Gray Hackle Yellow that was my go to fly. In the 80's I found my yellow dyed rabbit Flymph to be so effective even when fished along with a Partridge and Yellow. This is another variant to test in different light and water conditions. I am curious to fish it deeper when the luminous factor may kick in after a charge. ;)

Ha ha. In the 80's the Gray Hackle Yellow almost caused me to kick Gary Lafontaines a$$. I never liked him since.
