Learn how to tie the Laser Pointer
Andrew Grillo’s Laser Pointer is a bit of a sleeper summertime dry. It is a lower-riding large terrestrial imitation that offers great visibility. The hair post and hackle wing give both the fly fisher and the fish the perfect perspective on the fly. While it is a slightly more difficult tie it is worth putting a few variations in your box. The Green Drake color scheme may be my favorite but there are lots of attractor options available for this fly.
