Tied several of these up this morning, about to head out to give them a try on the water.

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.

Yep, hence the name CDC Hurl Bug.

Doh! Yes, that would be the name hidden in plain sight, wouldn't it? With situational awareness like mine, it's a blessing I didn't go into air traffic control.

Bucky/ MTWFF,
I'm liking em! Nice photos too.
Best regards, Dave S.
I bought my Dad a fly rod, and currently in the process of tying some flies to stock his fly box with..

Mottled Fly Fisher - My Fishing Blog
Those look great, Warren! Are you planning to chase Smallies with those?Originally Posted by WarrenP
Here is just a few flies that I am presently working on:

David,
Yes, I do plan to chase the smallies more this coming year. I tried one of the Mickey Finns out about 3 days ago in one local river here and did manage to catch one 11" rainbow! I could not do any wade fishing due to them releasing close to 600cfs but I did want to see what the streamers looked like in the water so I just stood on the bank and played. With as much water as they were releasing, I could not get the streamers down very deep, but, as long as one fish came up, I feel these may be something I will fish a lot more as soon as the weather will allow. It was only about 37 degrees so I did not stay more than about an hour. Toady I guess I will continue to tie flies since I woke up to about 6" to 12" of SNOW! I have not seen this much snow since moving from Ohio 26 years ago. Needless to say, there will not be much happening around here for the next couple days. Nashville only got about 2" of snow. I live 80 miles SOUTH of Nashville and we got somewhere between 6" and 12"! This Global Warming stuff is driving me nuts! This is a great thread and a lot of good looking patterns are showing up.

Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.
Well I have not had time to tie lately but am in the ROYGBV swap so I need to get busy. Still not sure what I am going to tie but it will be red. Any suggestions?
Remember we all live down stream
