Can any of you give me the pattern for the Westfield River Bug? How about a picture?
Thanks in advance
Jeff

Hey Jeff, I thought I gave you one of those. You didn't copy it? I can try to post a picture of it when I get home tonight.
Size 12 nymph hook of your choice
Olive thread
pheasent tail fiber tail
Green floss body
gold wire rib
peacock hurl abdomen
pheasent tail fiber gills
poly yarn wing case
topped with a gold bead head.
This thing has been my go to fly since I started using it. Deadly on the Westfield with a swing drift.

I new one of you guys from down here would respond. Yeah- you gave me one and I thought I took picture, but guess not. I even tied one up, but lost it.
Thanks
Jeff

Hmmm...
Sound like a nice pattern based on the materials/color combos.
Think I'll tie some up.

Sorry, didn't get around to taking any pics last night. Had to open the pool. I'm pretty tied up tonight too, but I will try to take care of it tonight.

 Sorry it took so long. Sarah and I have been really tied up lately. This guy has seen a couple of fish, but you guys get the idea. - Gregg |

Gregg,
Thanks for the pic. I'm glad you posted it- I was going to tie some up this weekend, and I would have tied the pheasant tail gills too short.
Thanks,
Jeff

Yeah, they were originally shorter. I experimented with the length a little. It seems better with a bit longer gills. I don't know how much it changes the action in the water, but the fish seem receptive.
And you can thank Sarah for the picture. Thats her paw holding the fly. I couldn't seem to get a clear shot. She's the shutter bug.
