Hook: Gaelic Supreme Mike Martinek 8xl #2
Thread: Black 6/0
Tag: Silver flat tinsel
Body: Black floss
Rib: Silver flat tinsel
Belly: White bucktail
Throat: Orange schlappen
Wing: 4 chartreuse hackles
Shoulder: Guinea fowl
Eye: Jungle cock nail
Head: Black
Notes: As the name suggests, muddy water won't keep the fish from seeing this bright beacon. Chartreuse is a wonderful color in general and is some what underused by fly anglers in fresh water. The orange throat is also a favorite trigger for large trout. This is one of Dave's first original designs, moving away from his genre of classic wets to streamer conversions.

Since you got this far …
The GFF money box
… I have a small favor to ask.
Long story short
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
Long story longer
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.

Great fly Dave. Remember, "If it ain't chartreuse, it ain't no use."
