Watcha tying lately

[Steven]

Last week I tied up some tan GFA hoppers. The bluegill and chub in a nearby creek liked 'em just fine. Hopefully will use them on some trout at the end of the month and then trout season is over in Southwest Wisconsin.

I'd been tying a bunch of Mahogany duns and bwos for upcoming trip to Idaho, then took a break from mayflies and switched to meat flies, which was kind of fun. Now that I have those boxes pretty well stocked, it's back to the little stuff; pheasant tails today, then I'm going to try some Parasol emergers, which look neat.

I'll be tying up some more Finnits. Been a great producer for the smallies this year. While "electric chicken" has accounted for most & biggest, the "redhead" is gaining ground.

CDPaul,

I'm afraid that I'm not tying up much that is really new or inspiring this summer. I'm just too busy with other things right now. About all I'm managing to do is to fill a few empty areas in my fly boxes. I anticipate tying some Charlie Boy Hoppers in the near future. That's a new pattern of me. 8T

Hi All,

Earlier this summer I lost my fly box of caddis flies. Had a BUNCH of them in the box. I have been out of pocket, not being able to tie because of various things, for quite some time, but now am home, and am hoping to get back to tying.

Also am tying a roughly equivalent set for a best friends son, who for all intents is the same as a nephew, so am planning to go back to elk hair caddis flies for his box and for mine.

Tying these, of course, can and will be interupted to tie needed warm water (mostly bluegill) flies.

Regards,

Gandolf

Knocked out a half dozen black furled tail mohair leeches tonight. It's a nice simple fly the fish really like!
