RE: [VFB] Fishing this weekend

VERY cool Pete, very cool. I guess what threw me was that size. Never heard 
of a Green Drake that small. I take it it's an emerger. The microfibet tails 
must be standard length? Boy that really sounds like an innovative fly. That 
heavy waxing is a smart idea. As i collect Green Drakes and Coffin flies, 
you KNOW i'd love to have one. Make that two, so i can fish one. I'll 
reciprocate. And thankx for the dubbing sample. My dubbing collection is 
massive. You have my snail mail addy i'm sure. i gotta get outside and do my 
chores. Tight wraps back at ya, mark....

>Please tell me more about that #16 EGD-FW?
The EGD is indeed an eastern green drake, made with a sparkly 
pale-spring-green dubbing that I hand-dye and make.  The FW is actually for 
a fuzzy-wing, something I came up with (I'm sure others have done likewise) 
where the wing is a doubled-over piece of antron yarn tied parachute style 
and frayed.  The hackle, however, isn't wrapped parachute style, but is 
wrapped "standard" style, 2 wraps in front and behind the upright antron 
wings.  The recipe is really easy, with those things (the spring-green 
dubbing, the grizzley-dyed-yellow hackle, and the pale-yellow yarn) and a 
tri-tail of three microtippets in olive.  For smaller flies, a few ginger 
hackle barbs work for the tail.  I'll ship ya' a pack of dubbing and a 
sample fly on a card.  Kinda my 'signature' fly, as it floats in the film 
or maybe an inch below the surface, if the yarn gets waterlogged.  I treat 
the dubbing with dry-fly-floatant, and use heavy waxing for dubbing, so 
that I get it to float like a cork.
Well, I have to get back to work so I can visit the in-laws...
Tight wraps,
Pete
