hello all fly fishing guru's
i have been searching for this white death to no avail... but instead of the multi colour ting- i need green ting (hope you know what i am talking about)
this fly was tied by JAy Smith
if anyone can tie one like this with the green- i dont mind buying few from them.
The white death i seen in the shop are all plain white

Poenskop - not the whole thing -just the mulitcoloured crystal flash- i want that to be light green crystal flash hope i am making sense - something like pic below (pic is compliments of this website http://www.nsfa-adventures.com/STEP_BY_STEP_FLIES_CLOUSERS_LAKE_TROUT.htm (http://www.nsfa-adventures.com/STEP_BY_STEP_FLIES_CLOUSERS_LAKE_TROUT.htm))

I had a bit of trouble sourcing the green Crystal Flash. Rory donated some chartreuse flash as a substitute. Sunday morning I decided to check Mias Woodmead and was lucky to get my hands on the last packet. I will finish them tonight or tommorrow in time for the weekend. Promise :-)
I am curious why you want it with the green flash and not the normal flash. I've got a theory regarding dark flash for minnow imitations and was wondering if this might be the reason why you want the dark flash. Please let me know. I find this very interesting.

boet- thanks for going the extra mile...
well i have used the plain white death before with great success - i am not sure why but when i caught the goldie- i used this particular fly- i cant remember where and how it got in my fly box... but i had three bites on it that day. the fish didnt want the plain white death
not sure what insect it imitates...but all i know it worked- maybe its just for that particular water, that fish are use to it or something... but please tell me your theory... i am intrested.... i think its the flash that attracts them ..and then they nail it..
will call u in mext 10min -thanks again boet

What's the theory Louis? Lateral line?

I watched a video clip of Bob Popovics tying a surf candy. He stated that he likes using darker or denser materials for the lateral line. He states that when a minnow is swimming in the top water column with the sun behind it the lateral line appear much darker and provide a trigger point.

Check from 2:35 for his explanation that might be a bit easier to understand than my afri-english.

Thanks Louis, makes perfect sense. I like lateral lines as well as eyes and gills on my baitfish patterns.

I tried to do the Step by Step last night but the macro mode on the camera did not work that well. Al you can see is a white blob on the photo. I will try again tonight.
