Wispy – Mike Kidd’s fly.  Mike said he started using this fly at Montauk and caught a lot of fish.  The same results at Roaring River.  He just started using this fly at Taneycomo, so we will see how it does there.  It is a very simple fly to tie and the one he gave me was on size 14.  He used a green Krystal Flash and I used Peacock (Didn’t have the green).   If you do not have the Diamond Bread Caddis Green, any Diamond Braid Pearl can be colored using a Sharpie color of you choice.  See the picture below.
