Round Two - instant replay...


Hit the creek again this morning..... this pool provided some lively action!


Nice brown here caught on a translucent orange Fire Fly.


This run doesn't look like much but is one of my favorites... Why? Because it produces fish!


Go on get out there and getch-ya some!

    Hola, todo el pescado capturado esta semana han estado en las ninfas ... En concreto, el Fire Fly de la foto en el "Fly Destacado" ... He estado pescando en la mañana, el agua está fría y no he visto ninguna actividad de mosquito. Por las tardes, si sale el sol puede haber algo de incubar mosquitos ... pero no he estado fuera entonces ... A medida que avanzamos hacia la primavera y el clima es más cálido Eariler, que debe comenzar a ver mosquitos alrededor de 10 o 11 de la mañana ... Estoy deseando que llegue. Saludos, Doug.

Turkey-tail Soft Hackle Nymph (Stone Fly Nymph)

Image
 Here's a great little variation of my Turkey-tail Nymph tied as a wet fly to imitate the stone flies that come off my home creek in early Spring... Dead drift it, then let it swing, then strip it in... Yeah it's a good one. Enjoy! Materials: Hook: #14-16 1xl nymph hook Thread: 8/0 Uni. Tail and body: Turkey-tail fibers Rib: Medium copper wire Thorax: black dubbing of choice Hackle: Turkey feather from the neck of the bird, 1-1/2 turns.

tying my version of Walt's Worm a step-by-step

Image
My version of Walt's Worm is a bit different than most, I think I'll call it the "Korn's Worm".   I have tried to incorporate Frank Sawyer's - Killer Bug and Walt Young's - Walt's Worm, taking the best from both.  I use the tying method of Young and materials from Sawyer. Here in PA and NY this fly is a proven trout taker. It imitates a bunch of flies: crane fly larva, grubs, cased caddis, etc...  Materials Hook: 1xl nymph #12-16 Thread: tan Serafil 200 or 6/0 Uni Weight: 28 ga. copper wire Note: copper wire is used as it was on Sawyer's Killer Bug.  In the sunlight when wet the copper will show through.... so they say - I just know it works and I wouldn't change it! Body: Patons Classic Wool Natural Mix (00229) yarn made into dubbing. Note: the Patons yarn is a very good substitute for Chadwick's 477-wool with was used in Sawyers Killer Bug.  Or you can use Hareline Hares Ear Plus #1 or #7. A very simple fly to ...

Tying the Found Link (by Kelly Galloup)

Image
I really like this Mayfly pattern. I played around at the vise this morning and tied a few. Here's one I tied as a PMD on a #14 1xl dry fly hook. It doubles as a spinner and an upright winged Mayfly. The upright wing is also used as a sighter for us old guys and when viewed from the bottom it looks like a spinner. Kelly's Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV1AYffuVLA Thread: Roman Moser's Power Silk 10/0 (or Danville 6/0) Hook: Daiichi 1110 Tail: Light Pardo Whiting Coq de Leon  Body: Deer Hair Under Wing: Dun or Adams Gray Crinkled Z-Lon  Thorax: Super Fine Dubbing  Wing: Deer Hair
