Naches Bee

I fondly refer to the Naches Bee as being the ?Incidental hatch?. It was tied out of curiosity after watching native Cutthroat feed on a swarm of bees along an Eastern Washington State stream. It works quite well and has since continued to work coast-to-coast.

Good looking pattern, I fish a drowned bee pattern for bream with good success. I have watch several of your videos, all well done and informative. But, I would like to make a suggestion. Try a different colored shirt, I think something light blue, gray, might make a better background for the flies.

Uncle Jesse, I’m working on that, along with the auto-focus of my camera. :slight_smile:

Also, maybe, zooming in closer on the hook might help it focus less on the surroundings and more on the fly.

This made my heart rate go a little faster.

Ralph,

Neat fly; reminds me of a conventionally hackled version of Madsen’s Game Warden. Thanks for posting.

Scott
