Green Flies?

[Liljoe]

Okay I'm curious, do y'all have any green flies preferably chartreuse and in the 10-14 size range that y'all like to use? It seems like the more I fish my local rivers the more I'm convinced the trout love bright green. If you've got any kind of unique patterns of that kind, I would love to see them!

Take a look at these. The Green Weenie can often be productive. I've fished it as a dry and sub-surface.

The green butt skunk is sometimes tied with more of a chartreuse than green section. Possibly a green egg sack added to your favorite fly would work also.

Pheasant tails with a chartreuse thorax do very well! I tie up a black pheasant tail with chartreuse wire and thorax that has come through for me a few times. Even adding a "hot spot" of thread right behind the bead can spice up a pattern.

For a dry fly, the Lime Trude is a great attractor.

I agree with Joe



Rogues are good, too

Liljoe, I tie an olive wooly bugger which works well. I start with a 1x or 2x long hook. The tail is yellow marabou with a wisp if red marabou at the bottom. The red marabou looks like the fly is bleeding. The body is mohair yarn. I palmer yellow hackle up the fly. The hackle is not dry fly grade. Burying the hackle stem into the yarn helps to preserve it. I often Gink the top and sides and fish it on and in the surface. If you want sink it, give it a bead head or weigh it with wire under the yarn. It works on the Duck for brim and trout. I use it up to size 6.

I hope I get a chance to meet you soon.

Small Western GREEN Drake I just tied, using dyed snowshoe and a biot body (smooth).

Google 'green rock worm' and you will find a bunch of patterns representing the larva of the Rhyacophila caddis. As Joe said the Lime Trude is a great dry.
