Posts: 1 | Hello, I went on a guided trip recently and the gentleman leading the group referred to a certain fly he was using as a "trash fly". The fly was very small and fuzzy and neon green/yellow. He said it doesn't really resemble a specific insect. Is this just a general term used to describe a certain category of flies? Could anyone provide a little more detail on this for a newby trying to learn? Maybe link me to an image or specific fly if possible. Thanks, Haleyeah | |

Moderator Palmyra PAPosts: 3192 | It may have been a small green weenie or sinking inchworm. It's hard to know without seeing the fly. https://www.flyshack.com/DisplayItem.aspx?ItemID=101747&src=froogle&gclid=CjwKCAjwq9mLBhB2EiwAuYdMtcRTrzIdbtAFhoLjGOeKRkdnusVN2Hs3QaB0VhRNnvf5M4T17WPrABoC4JsQAvD_BwE | |
