    Nice Serendipity, although the original $3 Dip version, as designed by Nick Nicklas of Blue Ribbon Flies in West Yellowstone, specifically used Danville Tobacco Brown for the body.

    whatever.

    i'll retie it just for you when i find the right color thread

    better?



    any color will work. theres black ones, red ones, olive ones, silver ones, brown ones, gray ones etc

    beads or no beads. curved or straight hooks

    variations of materials are acceptable as you should well know

    the blue ribbon flies website lists other colors so i guess thats okay?

    Kelly Galloup sells this fly at the Slide Inn with pieces of krystal flash tied on each side of the deer hair.
