PMD Flymph

A place to discuss the collecting and tying of classic flies, the tyers who made them famous, the tools, materials and techniques they used as well as the waters they were designed for. While classic is generally used to describe old things, classic is also used in the sense of first class or in the highest form. Therefore a fully dressed Salmon Fly, or a Carrie Stevens Streamer are just as much classics as a Chernobyl Ant would be. Enjoy the forum.

A flymph I tied to fish dead-drift in the film on the Madison this month. I have much more success fishing wets for large, picky fish than drys.

Pattern: Pearsalls Gossamer gold silk waxed with sticky stuff I made from beeswax, pine resin and castor oil; cream hen neck; dark cream dubbing; Mustad sneck hook (barb mashed).
