What Are You Tying This Week

[samsonboi]

Nice flies, am I an organization that you support?

[PYochim]

Currently I am tying nothing. A torn tendon in my left thumb has kept me from the vise.

Tying March Browns for the spring. These have really worked well.

Hook: TMC 3761 - Size 16 or to match your hatch
Thread: Dark Green
Tail: Antron or a Green shuck material
Abdomen: Peacock wing feather bidot
Wing: Deer hair tied forward back half clipped medium short then thread wrapped back to front to stand up wing.
Thorax: Hares ear dubbing
Hackle: Brown Grizzly

Been doing something very similar. It’s a deadly fly just mix and match colors to suit. The yearling elk down wing helps it float and I think the fish take it as both a mayfly and caddis.

Semper Fli 12/0 Fluoro orange

Last week I tied and fished some of these before the weather turned sour. I put a lot of weight on them. That way I could swing them with the current like a wet fly or strip them like a streamer. The second way worked better on the Tongue in southern Montana.

I'm not much of a tier, but this weekend I knocked off a bunch of traditional wets, soft-hackles and flymphs using grouse & woodcock. This particular pattern works well as a sulphur emerger.

Hi Guys, I caught my first, rather tiny fish in the Wallkill. My family vacationed there in the 4o-50's. Beautiful Catskill tie! I'll tie some.
