Well, best I know, trout’s don’t drink tea. But for the fly angler the three teas are fundamental to good results on the water. Since I fish moving water here in the Intermountain West, my references are to that experience. But I think the teas have universal application.
This is an excellent piece, both content and presentation. I learned some things and plan to have a go with thread on a hook (if I can resist: “Maybe I should just twist on a little hackle”). Thanks for posting this, John. ~Paul
Thank you, Paul.
Follow the link for some background and tying instructions for “thread on a hook.”

P.S. Please don’t ruin it with “a little hackle” !!
Great read. Sometimes learning is seeing whats right in front of you.
Nice piece John.
Bravo… good stuff
Nice work Scott!~I’ll take it with love
Nice work Scott! I’ll take it with love!
I also agree John writes a very nice easily readable and understood article. I differ only in one “T” area. Since I don’t tie , I tend to practice " this ain’t no restaurant, you WILL eat what I brought". Needless to say, THAT probably accounts for my creel count .Matching the hatch, to me, is using a different color woolly bugger. I do concentrate SEVERELY on reading conditions …“where they is”… and pass on many spots that , to my estimation, will not be conducive to my baits, equipment or skill level. I seldom get skunked but I have also enjoyed L-O-N-G walks along many beautiful streams.
