Flies

I fish a lot of standard patterns, but here are some of my original patterns or unusual variations that may be hard to find. All the flies you receive are tied by me.

All barbs are bent back before tying.

Midge Sampler Pack:

Get 2 Hot Head, 2 pink and 2 purple glass bead head for $9.40

Hot Head Midge w/ Holo Tinsel body

I use this fly as a lead fly in winter or in lakes year round. It is tied on an extended length size 20 hook so it is larger (closer to a size 16 regular  nymph hook) and works as a great attractor midge. Fish eat it up. I use Holo Tinsel for the body instead of standard thread for some extra flash.

A common pattern with a small twist: I fish them in purple, red and pink! These are colors that grab trout’s attention and really stand out, especially in these small sizes. I use this fly as a go to in winter. This is also great for high mountain lakes. When the fish are rising on bugs so small they are hard to see, drop one of these of the back of a dry fly you can see and enjoy the results. Comes in sets of 6 in size 20 only

Glass Beadhead Midge

Special BWO Package

2 RU-2B’s in size 18 and 2 in size 16 plus 2 R’s Soft Hackles for a total of 6 flies

This is one of my all time favorite searching patters. It just plain catches fish. The contrasting wire adds an illusion of movement and the profile is a killer. If I could only fish one pattern spring to fall, this would be it. The Hot spot versions are a pink hot spot for the red/yellow and fluorescent green for the green/yellow.

This pattern represents a BWO or other small insect. The soft hackle collar tied in front of the bead rather than behind is on the secrets of this fly. A thread body wrapped in purple wire adds to the mysterious effects of this fly. Size 18

The RU-2B is my version of an effective guide pattern developed locally. It is one of my favorite BWO patterns or a searching pattern off a larger nymph during the summer. The white organza wing case and legs gives this fly a glow in the water that trout key in on.
