Bunch o Fly's
Instead of making a billion topics, thought i'd throw a bunch of flies i've tied into here. All of them are applicable to the rivers in alberta, (bow river, crowsnest, etc), obviously, some are more applicable then others (and some are for lakes)

Very creative. If I were a fish I'd be licking my chops! :lol:

Re: Bunch o Fly's
How that double humpy is one nice looking fly. Are there different colours you tie that in, apart from the golden ice dub you use. Also what exactly does that imitate, if anything at all. Man i like it

Re: Bunch o Fly's
It kind of represents a stonefly, but its definitly more of an attractor. Works well on the cutthroat up here
I can see doing it in all the normal colors of a humpy, i've just always found yellow the best (only problem with Ice Dub i find, is that it sorta holds water..little bit of floatant and you're fine though)
