River, beer and flies

After work today I decided to tie up a few of Fly Fish Food's "La Ranita" (little frog) in a firetiger variation. A midst my endeavor, I was interrupted by a friend on a bicycle who wanted to take a cruise down the the riverside beer garden a few blocks away. I of course obliged. I figured if the river is too high to fish, you might as well have a beer and watch it all pass you by.

Fly Fish Food's Foam Dragon

This weekend I tied up a bunch of this new foam pattern I recently found while on my quest for new and innovative panfish flies. 

The Foam Dragon is a recent creation tied by Clark Pierce (Cheech) over at the Fly Fish Food blog. Clark (Cheech) was kind enough to put up a detailed how-to video on his blog. I want to thank him for sharing this on his site. It is people like this who make the fly fishing community such a wonderful place. This is a super fun and easy pattern to tie It should be an effective panfish producer.
