My folks went out west to a family wedding where the guests received welcome bags with this card. Its decorated with a custom fly tied by the groom's Montana-based father, using this year's hot pattern:

The fly was poked through the card stock, giving the gift bag some extra personalization.


They brought it back and gave it to me - what did you think I would do with it? Hung it below a clear little float that I've been tinkering with for various applications and made sure it worked.

Works just fine.

Not sure what the pattern is.

I thought this was a pretty cool idea for other tiers who might be involved in weddings or other events that could use a touch of fishing class

It's called Pat's Rubber Legs. I have caught a lot of very big trout on that pattern.

Very good go to on the S.Holston and Watauga

It seems it is correctly referred to by both names mentioned and is pretty effective in black, and brown variegated chenille bodies. Can find it with a variety of "legs" and colors and in different sizes as well. For some folks it's almost always one of their two flies on a tandem rig.

That fly is irresistible to a wide range of species.

Super cool.

This pattern can produce so much exciting action perhaps we should re-name it the "Wedding Night" fly?...

I've been fishing the **** out of those on bluelines, lately. It's a "stonefly" in trout streams, though I suspect your warmwater friends there may have been thinking "crawfish."
