Fishing Forum

I was thumbing through a recent issue of American Angler and saw this picture



It described it as Algae effect. Well, heck we have a bunch of lakes around here that get that!

So, I looked at my supplies and realized I can probably duplicate this.



Now I do have to wait to try this out, but I am excited.

That looks great. It is amazing how effective blue flies are.

very interesting what did you use

TMC 200R in 12 to 20. I use lead substitute wire in the Thorax area.
Body is Ultra thin wire Cobalt Blue, and Uni-Mylar in Peacock (orange on the other side) in size #14.
When tying the mylar in, have it orange side up. Thorax is Chartreuse Midge Diamond Braid wrapped, but a dubbing could work too.
Coat with SHHAN.
