Yvon Gendron, from Neptune flies in the town of Drummondville, Quebec, originated this fly. Gendron saw the use of green butts on dry flies as a natural extension of those used on wet flies. He came up with the fly some time in the 1980’s. Other colors can be substituted for the green butt but this version remains the most popular.
