Those look like they are just getting broke in good:D

Eddie George was an East TN/Great Smoky MT fly fishing legend. He said he used the white wing case material like a sighter when nymph fishing. He said he knew a fish had taken the fly when he...

Great looking nymph. I have started to tie almost all of my nymphs with a dark wing case.

I had a negative experience and have no interest in doing business with them again.

The depth of water usually determines which method I use. If I am fishing pocket water with a wide variation of depths, I skip it. If I am fish long run outs and riffles I'll use one. It sure makes...

I have seen that style before. I think it's a Wally Wing, but I think Wonder wings are very similar and much easier to tie. Look in the Fly Tier Beachside Reference if your have access to one.

Good looking fly. I have caught Trout and Bass on them. I agree with Scott, try some Sculpin pattern. They are real fish catchers.

Nice looking flies. The drop shot setup works great. The GRHE with the herl wing case video changed the way I tie this nymph. His Improved Baetis has proven to be a nice addition to the box.

I'm like Philly. I keep a magnet about 3' in diameter with a long wooden handle. No more crawling around on my knees. Good use of the flashlight though:idea: Might come in handy when the item was...

You have been given some good information. I always keep the new wild stuff separate from my main fly tying stuff for a couple months. You need to get all the meat and skin off the feathers that you...

I love Davie's patterns and videos. He has great advice and tips that often make tying the fly much easier.

Kaufmann's Stonefly is a good one. I'm not sure what species the photo you showed was. Maybe Pteronarcys californica or maybe Pteronarcys dorsata? I know here in NC we have at least 3 or 4 species of...

Fish those actually look pretty good for your first try. Try making the head just a little bit smaller, and the body a little shorter. Using a smaller thread like 8/0 will help the head. The length...

I think the best way to get the hackle to point backwards and go from larger at the head to smaller to the tail is to tie them like this.

Kryptonite :lol:

I use it to imitate midge pupa. I tie a variation with a glass bead for the thorax. I leave a few Wood duck fibers from the wing pad sticking up at the head of the fly to imitate the antenna of the...

It looks just like the hacklestacker or paraloop method to me.

A little longer than to the back of the bend is OK, but I really like mine to extend to somewhere between the barb and the bend. The P&O is a great fly. Not that hard to tie, and a lot of different...

Sorry for the delay. You will see at least 2 distinct species of sulphurs. Even though the overall color will be a pale yellow, they will also have varying amounts of orange in the thorax area.

Alan,
While the Sulphur hatches may have come and gone on the freestone streams they will continue on the tailwaters in good numbers until late Oct or early Nov. They are a very important food...

Thanks Ridgeliner. I have to agree, the first thing I thought when I saw the fly was...looks like a leech :idea:

Thank you Diane :D

Harry Mason has a nice tutorial on biots on his site.
http://www.troutflies.com/tutorials/biot/ You will obtain very different effects by wrappping the biot on one side or the other.

I place mine...

Can anyone help me with any pattern info on this fly?

I like several of the ones mentioned already, I think Ron is right about trying to keep the patterns simple. Your going to loose a few flies, and the simple ones seem to work just as well. Here are...
