Kingery's Black Ice

A very hard fly to find in many flyshops, but an extremely effective pattern that can be tied to imitate the many different spring, summer and fall hatches, just by changing the colors of the materials. Larry Kingery from Colorado , signature tier for Idylewilde Flies is the orginator of this pattern.

"Vermillion" by Kitchen Sink Studios Inc.

Having spent many fine days on the Colorado River at Lee's Ferry, this film brought back many fine memories. Growing up in Arizona, I had the great fortune of spending many great days in this canyon. The waters majestic, the cliff walls truly breath taking, and the fish equally as nice.
