Green Drake

Fly: Larry Medina, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: TMC 102Y Size 11-17
Thread: Black 8/0
Tail: Moose Neck Hair
Body: Dark Golden Olive Dubbing Blend
Wing: Teal Flank Fibers, tied upright and
Hackle: Grizzly

I like the 102Y’s larger gape for this fly, as it allows me to tie a longer tail and use a larger than normal hackle to give the illusion of a larger bug while still using a relatively small hook. The dubbing is a blend of seal, beaver and finely chopped golden olive antron for a little flash.
