I dig it. Would kill where I fish in the spring.

Terrific grannon pattern! I wish I had a whole row of these in my fly box. These would be deadly in many of the streams I fish.

Welcome to the forum, and thank you for sharing. I look forward to seeing more of your patterns in the future.

Could you share your pattern details? (Materials, tricks and tips for tying and fishing them). Come on...spill your secrets. ;) :D

Ray,
This pattern is bright green yli 100 size silk, the back is holographic black tinsel. Thorax is peacock ice dubbing.
Dark partridge hackle tops it off. I usually fish it down and across.

Awesome tie. Thanks for joining the Flymph Forum.
John,
Thanks for the welcome! I've been lurking around for several months, but was unable to join. There was only a login button but no register button. Once the new format was going, then I saw a register button.

Maintenance man! You are the heartbeat here John.

Welcome Boarmountain (Mike), great pattern. Well thought out and tied. I know a certain Mckenzie River that I would love to cast that fly into in the Spring.

Very nice work on the mounts too. I can see attention to detail is what you do.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.
