Today Paul Fedeles brings us a special King’s Birthday long weekend treat – his Snowshoe and Possum Fur Emerger.

This fly, crafted on a size 14 scud hook, blends the buoyant qualities of rabbit’s foot post with the subtle, natural texture of possum fur dubbing, making it an exceptional choice for imitating emerging insects.

Paul’s challenge:

Paul also shares a nostalgic hint from his childhood in the music. Can you guess the TV show he’s referencing? Filmed in the San Fernando Valley, California, where Paul grew up.

Hint: It starred Ric Jason and Vic Morrow.
