Fly Pattern of the Day - the "Cutty Killer"

I was digging through a couple of things today and came across this well used fly last night and thought this would be a great post, as this is killer cutthroat pattern on the St. Mary's River in British Columbia. Those slow rising buggers just love to foam and lots of rubber legs twitching. This fly has lots and lots of legs to twitch.

Give it a try if your up that way, a terrific river. Should be on your TO DO List

Sunday's Featured Fly- Greg Garcia's - "Rojo Midge"

With all the rains and floods in the Denver area, we decided to stay in town and keep out off the roads but run some errands for the upcoming week. One of the stops was to visit my good friend Greg Garcia, world renowned flytyer, flycaster and retailer at Anglers All. Always nice to see Greg as he usually finds a way to reduce my wallet by a few hundred dollars. 

In honor of the master, I thought I would feature his famous Rojo Midge. A tremendous fly for any of the Colorado rivers and lakes. If you do not have a row of these in your flybox, SHAME on you.

Twist up a few, if not, go in and see Greg at Anglers All, tell him Floatfisher sent you in,

he will give you something free.
