How to tie the Hair Wing Green Drake
Summertime means big bugs. The Green Drake is a large elegant Mayfly that only hatches for a few weeks each year. But when it does, you want to be ready. This Hair wing Green Drake pattern is an excellent choice. It offers a super buoyant front wing and a realistic profile. It is great fished in fast water as it will stay up in the current. It can also hold up a decent dropper fly to help maximize your opportunity.
