Some River Dry Flies from Canada

[boon]

Here are a couple of ties from my favourite tier Rene Harrop. Not sure how well known he is over in the UK.

These patterns are deadly over here on my local rivers in Canada. These are tied to represent one of our early mayfly hatches a hendrickson, but these patterns can easily be adapted for any mayfly hatch.

Nice flies and with a little tinkering colour wise, great for the start of the hatches of large dark olives over here. Nice!
