What are you tying now.

[Gandolf]

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 have been trying to learn how to tie Salmon flies. I am on a Black Ranger right now, and it is tough. I am going to continue to try to improve my skills in this area. I am also wanting to work on spoon flies, and maybe some classic wets too.

I got an adapter so i could tie some tube flies. Dont really know much about it but figured it would be a little cheaper for steelhead flies. Going to hopefully tie up some poppers for bluegills and some flies for trout

I start off each year with an inventory of my boxes....and then go to filling them back up.

For the spring mostly classic nymphs and some nymphs which doesn't look at something but saved sometimes my fishing day.
For example this small tiny nymph (hook #16) with a glass bead on it and some peacock hearl and madeira yarn
