HOW TO TIE LAWSON'S WESTERN BROWN PARADRAKE
DRY FLY: LAWSON'S WESTERN BROWN DRAKE PARADRAKE
The famous Western Brown Drake pattern with extended body created by Mike Lawson for the Henry's Fork of the Snake in Idaho. The extended body will look horrible the first couple times you tie it, but the learning curve is quick. Tip: It's all about the amount of Elk Hair you use - it takes practice.
