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

Do you want the whole fly green(olive) or just the wing? I will make you a couple this weekend.

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)
and rest must still stay white...

i think about 5 should do- to end this season off... boet you life saver, i will sort you out.

Have you heard of a place "On the Rocks" in PTA??

Hi Louis?? howsit going?? are you winning on this... lol- no pressure just checking up...

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
