Slim Shady 5.0 4K

Perhaps the most notable of my signature patterns, the Slim Shady is a perfect little pattern to have in your fly box. This is tied to imitate the numerous baetis nymphs found in my local tailwaters. It's been a proven winner over the years. It has been recently featured as a pattern included in " Favorite Flies For Colorado", "50 Essential patterns from local experts" by Pat Dorsey.
