Thanks for always mashing the barbs and sharing your craft!

Everytime I see Z-lon with a good close up lens, I am amazed. What a great and versatile material !

Another nice ,simple tie. Thanks.I enjoy fishing tiny flies and when the fish are on them that's all they want usually. Fishing tiny midges and olives is the way to extend your dry fly fishing for sure.

Thanks Tim. I tie this in #20 and #22 but use ONE strand of crystal flash for the trailing shuck. Has seemed to work very very well

Matt actually is from Virginia. He was guiding in Co when he developed this pattern.

Thanks Jeff for the clarification. I don't know how I didn't put it together that they were the same guy. Sorry Matt.

[@Jgreendyk1]

It's not a problem. He is a good buddy of mine.

I assume this pattern coild be tied in other colors as well

[@flyfishingeasternsierras8664]

tailsthewolf123 olive yellow, cream, olive even orange or red

Over the past 15 years that I've been tying flies I learned that most patterns work just as well in other colors or with diffrent color variations. You can't turn a black pattern neon pink, but within reason I'm saying. If you don't have the exact colors the person tying the fly is using, don't get discouraged. More times than not the fish either won't notice or care that it's a little off.
