Greg Garcia's Mini Hot Mayfly - Umpqua Fly
Details
We cannot wait for warmer weather to put Greg's new pattern to the test!
Incorporating the beauty and effectiveness of the Mini Hot, which works so well for stoneflies and caddis, but this series was missing its elegant mayfly counterpart.
Drawing inspiration from steelhead flies and HOT "tinsel" tags for the butts. The Mini Hot May completely changes the presentation of a traditional parachute dry fly.
These clean, slim body dries do a great job of matching the hatch, but will stand out from the others with the addition of the hot spot butt.
