FRG, I drove the 20 long blocks from my place to Greenbuttskunkville and picked them up in person. I anticipate a bunch of posts from other happy flyfishermen around 6pm tonight when they get home from work.

My flies were in the box when I got home last night. All the flies look great. [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img] I'll be field testing a few this weekend on Fall River.

#16 Daiichi 1x dry fly hook
Tail : Green Partridge
Body : Dun color superfine dubbing
Legs : Green Partridge
Thorax: Grey/dun color superfine dubbing
Wing : CDC

Size 16 is as large as I tie this and usually will use a size 20 hook.

Mine was the little green worm. Whenever I do a stomach pump, rock flip, or seine sample over on the Deschutes regardless of month, I always find those buggers. They change colors throughout the year, but they are always there. IN high school, I starting making that fly and have had it on my line over there ever since. What is it called? I dunno.......

Green Swanundaze wrapped up to some peacock herl. Works great with a bead head too.

Now I am ready to go fishing.................
