great fly
This is one of my alltime favorite flies for both steams and stillwater.

wrap one up and give it a fling and see what you think. My record with this fly is 20 fish in one hour bass, red ear, and crappie. pond fishin
It was good to meet the tyers tonight at bass pro in olathe ks. I hope to wrap a few with you soon. try out that major pitcher I think you will like it.
That is an interesting looking fly. I bet it would work on trout as well as panfish. The pattern calls for white goose wings with a touch of blue goose.
I am curious about two things in the tying of this pattern:
1. The white goose wings - what part of the goose are they from? Feathers from the wing are much stiffer than body feathers.
2. The blue goose feather. Is this from a white goose feather dyed blue or from a bird commonly called a blue goose? I assume it is dyed and if so what shade of blue?
If someone could post a picture of this fly "head on" it would be appreciated. I tried to google an image but could not get by the baseball players (lol).
Thanks
Tim
