Thanks Kelly.
Nice fly.
When the gusher hit you, we were fishing the Madison. Probably saw you in the parking lot as we usually fished the logjam in the evening. Great that the Madison is only a little over an hour from The Ranch!!!
I found a sparkle dun pattern to be effective for the Flavs. I use dyed dun deer hair and an olive body. Shuck either tan/brown or a little yellow/olive.
As an aside, I supplied my son and friends with the sparkle dun pattern that I tied and was working well. When I ran low, I checked both Mike Lawson's and the Trouthunter. Neither shop carried them in a flav.
What I find so interesting is that Craig Matthews and Juracek developed the basic sparkle dun after seeing cripples shining on the water in an eddy at the top of The Ranch!!!!!!!
