PM #33 – Classic Greenlander

THE PATTERN The Classic Greenlander tube fly is a pattern that’s been with us a couple of decades now, but it originates from two of the most classic of all clearwater flies: the Green Highlander and the Silver Grey. This cross breed is a superb sunshine fly. It’s one of Mikaels absolute favorite sunshine flies and has given fish in rivers around the world. We fish it from a few mm on a BTT, micro or nano design but also like this classic, slightly bigger version. It’s a pattern we seldom fish in the biggest sizes, maybe because big fly conditions very seldom appear in the clearest water.
