I caught my first fish on a fly I tied myself today. In fact, it was a Jeff Original fly and not one that I copied from a specific pattern. I call it the Para Soft Hackle Brown. It's March Brown dry fly dubbing, hackle fibre tail, white poly parachute post and soft hen hackle around the post. It floats just in the surfacr film and looks just like a dead bug floating helplessly in the water.

This little rainbow hit it so hard he jumped clear of the water.

The other photo is my son fishing. Nothing to do with fly tying other than a proud dad bragging a little that his teen age son still likes to fish with him.
