Tying the "Sprite" AKA "Lemon Lime"

Here is a sick pattern for spring and early summer.  As soon as the Ryacophila (green rock worms) start showing up, tie one of these on.  I tie these in size 10-16.

In fact, instead of those lame ads that Sprite has, they should make a fly fishing themed commercial for all of us die hards out there.  Simple concept, fish one of these and you'll catch more of these:

And on a separate note, all of this springtime gear preparation has me excited to get a fly rod in the hands of this little monster.

She's only two, but you can be sure that in a couple of years she'll be fishing alongside the dog she is roughing up.
