I've inherited a fly box with flies, some of which I can't identify as they have fallen out of their named slots. One is "Green of The Water". Can anyone help me with a description or picture please.

Never heard of it mate.

This kind of thing usually works best if you post the pictures and we identify.

Are you sure it's not Queen of the Water?

Thanks a lot Midlander, you got it in one . The box has pencilled names on it and with wear the front half of "Queen" looked like "Green". I've matched it with one of the loose flies.

Scratch, I would have done as you suggest but the box has about 10 - 15 flies that are all loose and therefore unnamed, so I was unable to isolate one. I have been scouring the Web and mail order catologues and those are the ones I can't put a name to. Also I don't know how to transfer a ".jpg" photo into the "http://" type required for posting. When I get that sorted I'll try again.

Thanks again.

Its like a teal and orange with a red ibis tail and palmered hackle and it originates from New Zealand I think. Its a good fly for wild browns. try it on the tail once it gets a bit warmer.
