Here is another new pattern from Umpqua Feather Merchants, I think it will be a winner. If you've been bitten by Black Flies in the spring while fishing (like I have) than Black Fly Larva are in the water you're fishing.
I like it for two reasons: 1. It's a simple tie following the K.I.S.S. rule; and there are plenty of these buggers in the rivers. I think this will be a winner.
Here is the recipe as I see it.

ReplyDeleteBigerrfish,
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the pattern I had a well 'da'.
How many of those little bugger were under my feet and in trout bellies? I was only focused on the ones trying to get a blood meal out of me.
