I’m trying to find some orange fly patterns if anybody has any ideas let me know.

Try the Smokey Mountin Fork Tail: http://www.smokymountainflyguide.com/tutorials_flytying.htm/smoky%20mountain%20forked%20tail.htm
Or an orange variation of the Partridge and Yellow.

The October Caddis will start showing up soon enough, and this is what I use when they do. Usually a size 14.

5

stimulators with orange body or where ever y’all like.

one wet & one dry. Might want to tone down the orange!!:shock:

Hi Liljoe,

You could try

  1. partridge & orange softhackle
  2. an orange water cricket (orange body, black rib, starling hackle)
  3. a Red Setter (a good New Zealand pattern; I think there’s a fly of the week version in the archives; really early on aroudn the first year of them)
  4. a Scotch Poacher is another New Zealand pattern with an orange body. You would have to substitute something for the pukeko wing, perhaps a magpie body feather.
  5. and a Kingfisher Butcher has an orange hackle, if that counts.

How about an orange bucktail?

I tied some Carey Specials with an orange body to try on steelhead. Never got a chance to so I tried them on bass & crappie and they worked fine.

If you are looking for a nymph pattern, maybe this one.

There is an old FAOL fly of the week called the “Orange Shellback” (2003-2004 Volume 7) -

I have forgotten about this fly but it was a good nymph for me late summer and fall.

Maybe one of the mods can bring it up and post it here for you.

In digging up this information I also ran across an other Fly of the Week presented by Skip Morris called the Carrot nymph from 1999-2000 Volume 7. He says it works for cutthroats and brookies, bass and crappie. Maybe a mod can dig that up for you too.

oops - I see that all the fly of the weeks are back. - Here is the carrot nymph

Then there are a number of other orange flies back there that you probably get recipes for else where such as an orange serindipity, orange stimulator, mandarine orange streamer, patridge and orange wet fly.

look on the web at charlies flybox and look up the tutorial on “the heater”

Oh, I am forgetting one of my favorite flies. The orange asher. There are recipes on the web for this.

Here is the “link” to the “Orange Shellback” pattern in FOTW archives here". It is a very good looking pattern and an easy tie. Enjoy…

This is an orange variation of the Royal Wullf, the University of Tennesse Wullf or the UT-K for short.

NJTroutbum,
Curious about the Satsop Stone and its name; do you have any information? There is a Satsop River here in western Washington, flowing south from the slopes of the Olympic Mountains into the Chehalis River.

There’s a tutorial on the Orange Nymph here on FAOL.
