I tie and use a pattern here in Colorado that has Brown hen hackle tail, muskrat body, and Brown hen hackle collar. By the descriptions I have read on the Internet it is a “flymph”. If you accept this as a “flymph”, I would love to participate in this swap.

Re: closing date - FEB 28th
Type of fly - if your trout think it’s a fly in transition between nymph and hatched fly, its a flymph. I wont argue with that

10

Well Roy, as I have already stated elswhere that flymphs(?) are one of my favourites.
I should like to partake.
Don’t know what I’ll tie yet.
Maybe a flymph version of McCaskie’s Green Cat.
