Mark Libertone Note

This is another of my own patterns and is tied in a style that combines the traditional soft-hackle with flymph attributes. I tied it to represent Ephemerella dorothea that hatches on my home river at the end of May and has a distinctive orange cast to the cream colored body. Again, the combination of the cream thorax and pale orange abdomen work to create the correct appearance. I know it works when the dorotheas are hatching., and I've fished it at other times in other places, and this fly has taken trout. I also know it works well for Sulphurs that have a distinct orange cast, too.
 
Looks like you’ll be well equipped! I can imagine one of your flies floating down the river there and seeing one of those big trout slowly rising up and sucking it under. Where are you planning to fish there, Jim?
I'll be on the Bitteroot.
Excited to see what Western fishing is about.
