Love this. Too meaty for the big c but that is a dream fly for lake Mi! Great looking bug.
ReplyDeleteI may try and finnagle it so that you and other guys making the Great Lakes Pilgrimage this year have greater chances of getting some of the awesome great lakes patterns in the swap this year.
DeleteAwesome fly! I do have aggressive carp that will work on, but I'm talking fry size compared to LM.

This one probably scales down quite well, and is actually pretty moderately sized for a Great Lakes inspired pattern. I think I could tie it up on an 8 and hook it up on slightly less aggresive carp.
DeleteNice looking fly.
