Discovery Optic (McLane) Variant

There are several color variations of this fly developed by the late A.J. McClane for the Campbell River area in British Columbia, where he had great success with it. I took a few liberties with the materials. The wing for this fly is made from a synthetic material called Fish-Fuzz, the crimped nylon subbed with light green crystal flash. The light blue on top really is a light blue, but the color looks faded after being scanned. The head is made with a painted optic bead instead of built up tying thread. Other color variations of this fly will be coming. See Discovery Optic Variant 2 and Discovery Optic Variant 3.
