Fly Of The Month

This is certainly the time of year when I fish BWO patterns and midges more than any other time. ,This fly, designed by Richard Ross, a contracted Montana Fly Company tyer is an excellent pattern that can serve as both. Snowshoe is an excellent material for emergers and this pattern utilizes not only that but several other big time fish catching feathers. You can view the specific pattern here.
