    Default Can anyone identify these two flies???

    A friend wants some of these. Not sure of the name of them. For use in Montana.
    I don't do foam and rubber legs.
    Any help appreciated.

    There are so many variations on that theme precise ID is going to be difficult. Is that two flies or the same one from different angles? Easy enough to reproduce though.

    If I fished where the natural of that critter hatched I'd go armed! I always wonder, with an enormous fly like that, why it needs a sighter on it. If you can't see something that size a yellow dot isn't going to make much difference.

    Cheers,
    A.

    I believe they are color variations of the same pattern.

    Two pictures of the same fly. One from the top and one from the bottom.

    Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.
