How To Tie Lawson's Green Drake Paradrake
HOW TO TIE LAWSON'S GREEN PARADRAKE
DRY FLY: GREEN DRAKE PARADRAKE
The famous Western Green Drake pattern with extended body created by Mike Lawson for the Henry's Fork of the Snake in Idaho. This is the hatch and the river that were made in fly fishing heaven. 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.
