Rib: Danville 4-Strand Rayon Floss, Insect Green
Body: Danville 4-Strand Rayon Floss, Yellow
Hackle: Light Ginger

The Lake Green is similar to another wet fly called the Apple Green in that the rib and the body are both made of floss. The Lake Green is also another Caddis pattern from Ray Bergman's book - Trout (page 436, Plate #5). A simple wet fly that will work well for trout as well as panfish. - - Enjoy
