    Default What are you tying now.

    Hi All,

    There is a post on the main board about what are folks tying this winter.

    This is similar. What are you tying now, and what are you planning to tie before spring? Any new flies that you are itching to tie and try?

    For me I am currently tying gray Wulffs. They are for a close friends son, who is about the same as a nephew to my wife and myself. My friend is getting a fly rod for his son, and we are tying a set of flies for him for next spring. The friend is tying the nymphs and I am tying a set of dries. I have finished the caddis flies, have started on Wulffs, and will be working on stonefly dries later.

    Also will be tying some bluegill dries for him.

    For my own fly fishing I will be tying primarily bluegill flies. No-hackle woolly buggers, some San Jaun worms (a friends brother in law has done well with them on gills), some small poppers, some replacement foam bluegill spiders, marabou damsel fly nymphs, and flies to fill holes in my boxes.

    Regards,

    Gandolf

    Midges, midges and more midges. Very important winter trout food around here. Some dries, some emergers.

    Also looking to replenish my stock of flymphs and spiders for next spring.

    Streamers mostly. Kind of breaking away from tying to a specific pattern, and just making things up as I go along.

    I'm not on a real tying binge yet but I'm beginning to stock up my boxes. Right now I'm knocking off a lot of #18 bead-head GRHEs. I'll also be tying a lighter colored and a darker colored version of this fly. May also go to a size #20 or #22. 8T

    BTW: Beautiful work Cold!!!!!!

    I've seen several post like this in various threads where there is a link that just says "Attachment" but it never opens anything. Don't know what is done to get to this point but it never works. Can someone shed some light on this?

    Default MTWFF Snowed In Tying

    Well been tying a dozen of these.
    Not much else to do when you are snowed in.

    MTWFF, on the second one with peacock herl body, is the wing CDC? Both nice looking ties. I want to do a few of the peacock one.
