| Sunset Baetis tied by Steven Bird |
I like this one for meeting
red quills in low light conditions & June evenings, right up against dark
when the bugs are thick & I want something that will stand out a bit from
the crowd. Covers a variety of baetis & also western march brown. I fish it
quartered, swung, dangled & lifted, downstream, but also fished upstream
& dead-drifted, as the situation seems to call for.
Sunset Baetis

the mylar tinsel & lend depth
