BlueGlacier

Today's fly is another original blue fly I call Blue Glacier. It has some subtle difference from last week's fly called the Blue Diamond. Many of you with the discriminating eye will see the differences immediately. Lots of blue flies to fish this year on the St Jean! And guess what? There are still other blue flies for you to see in the coming weeks! I know how thrilled all of you must be! But next week I promise the fly will not be blue
