How to tie the Grey Ugly
We found out about this fly from a customer in the store. They had nothing but positive things to say about how well it produced for them. Closely mimicking a Griffiths Gnat, Bi-Visible and Renegade it is perfectly logical that it did. With the amount of hackle snuck onto this little fly paired with the always great peacock herl, there is no wonder it is a fish catching machine.
