Big Bugs, Big Flies: Matching the Green Drake Hatch

A note from Donny Benkendorf (@benkedonny):

“This fresh-faced green drake dun was more photogenic than most.

I took his comfort level with my fly choice as a good sign, and the brookies later that afternoon echoed that sentiment:)

One of my favorite things about fly fishing is getting to witness the different life cycle stages of these incredible insects!”
