Green Weenie was tied by Mike Foster. See his notes below about the fly.
Mike's Notes: "The first Green Weenie I ever saw Tom Ugrin gave to me one morning on the South Fork of the Eel. I changed it very little..a couple of crystal flash strands in the tail and a green tag, and that is what I have used ever since."
