Orange Head Mary

Cheech - September, 2021

Mhis Fulling Mill fly really doesn't need a huge introduction as a brand new breaking pattern because it's been around for many years and has caught thousands of trout.  We brought this fly in to our shop about 5 years ago, and it's been a solid producer on our local trout streams, and can also be a good alternate for an egg pattern in the spring and fall.  Yes, it's pretty much a Pheasant Tail with an orange bead, but it's absolutely worth tying up a few dozen for your box.  Tie some with standard beads, or with slotted beads to match your fishing style!
