My favorite dry fly pattern the Dirty Hairy

I came up with this May fly Dry pattern several years ago . I tie it in both a Blue Wing Olive and a Red Quill in sizes #18 to #12. This pattern works very well on the Arkansas river, South Platte river and is a great imitation for the Green Drake. Give it a try it will make your day. Here is how to tie this pattern.

                             Hook; Mustad 94840  #18-#12
​                            Thread;  Uni thread  8/0 olive or light brown
                            Tail; Grizzly hackle
                           Body;  5mm clear stretch cord
                           Wing; deer hair
                           Indicator; Flo pink poly yarn
​                          Hackle; Grizzly hackle tied parachute style
​Notes;   The color of thread makes the color of the fly and can be changed to match any May fly. When trimming the butt ends of the wing and indicator trim them at an angle.
