It proved to be efficient in other places too. Translucent and yet colored. Tie it in olive, rusty or tan and you can imitate any camouflaged mysis - and it will stand out from the crowd. Can be tied by seniors too... January 29th 2006 Tooth & Nail Mark Dysinger presents a pair of pike flies that can take a beating - the Prince of pike and the Poxy Bunny.
