This pattern is in the current Blue Ribbon Flies Newsletter.
Good looking pattern for those who like big foam flies.

Dang Byron, opened the link and it looked like a giant bug was splattered on my windshield! That is one big fly…a great hopper/dropper I would say.

Thanks for the link!

Brad,
Primarily, it is a macro shot, but like all foam ties, it is a pretty big fly. Yes, either for a hopper or hopper/dropper, I would think.

On the flipside, I suspect there’s a reason BRF is selling it for a dollar. That’s probably less than they paid for it (most big nasties like that wholesale for around $14-17/dozen without preseason volume discounts). I know the patterns we put in the closeout bin for a buck might work just fine, but they don’t sell for one reason or another or there’s another pattern that pushes the same buttons better.

Walt,
I didn’t even notice a price on the fly. The color combinations seemed pleasing to me.
