Fluttering White Miller

This fly was developed by the tiers at Blue Ribbon Flies to imitated a prevalent caddis on the Firehole and Madison Rivers in Yellowstone National Park.  It is effective anywhere light colored caddis are active on the surface.  The wings are tied separated and cut to the length of the body.  The hackle is oversized.  The zelon butts of the wings are tied over the eye of the hook and clipped long to form a large head.  Bucky McCormick demonstrates the proper steps in tying this pattern in the “How To” section of BlueRibbonFlies.com.
