Thread: Watcha tying lately

  1. #1

    Default Watcha tying lately

    I've been tying up some flies for salmon fishing and late season trout. Curious to see what everyone else is tying this fall.

    Tying up various midge patterns. The family is heading out in a couple of weeks for the annual family gathering in the Sierra's.
    Trout don't speak Latin.

    I can't say about fly fishing but there's a lot of feed lots in Kansas.

    I am experimenting with 2 different Mayfly patterns wishing I had a Nor-Vise.
    one with dubbing and one using Yellow 2mm foam.
    I can't seem ta find the sweet taste of the stream

    I'm still tying Pine squirrel flies, particularly RLS's. I think they'll be killer for fall whites and smallies so I want to make sure I have enough not to have to stop fishing and tie more. Of course having plenty of them on hand might be the kiss of death, too. Darn, hadn't thought of that. Hmmm...
    If it swims and eats, it'll eat a fly.

    After all the nasty remarks the trout made about my dry flies yesterday, last night I rehabed several 18's & 20's from my box. Trout can just be so snide and snooty some times. The good news is my abilities have improved, the bad news is there is still a long way to go.

    North Country wet flies, primarily spiders, some winged flies as well. They are just so easy to tie and work so darn well.

    I'm tying up some half stone's that I saw in one of Donald's posts and on his web site. Not sure when I'll get a chance to use them, but I'm ready for when oppertunity knocks.

    Jeff,

    Me too. Did some long and short shank versions as wet flies using some yellow button hole twist that Donald sent me. On the long shank versions I palmered the hackle through the mole (kind of like a flymph or Baillie's spider), using honey dun hen for the whisks and hackle. On the short shank versions I used far less hackle and tied them like spiders. I'll be tying a few dry versions of this fly as well.
