Parachute Variant - Green Drake
Просмотров 4353 года назад
Effective pattern for a Green Drake hatch in that the fly resembles an emerger as well as a dun on the water. My experience with Green Drake hatches is that trout tend to take emergers over duns. The CDC hackle allows more movement of the fibers in fly's parachute post. Hence, the fly has more of a life like performance on the water. Yes, size, shape and color of a fly are important to its succ...

An effective pattern to use when searching for trout during the quiet times on the water.

Hackle Stacker Emerger
Просмотров 5023 года назад
This Hackle Stacker (Para-Loop) Emerger ia an effective pattern to use during a PMD hatch when trout are feeding on emergers or during the hatch when PMD duns are not working. This is a killer fly to use during a BWO hatch since BWOs spend considerable time floating on the water before hatching into duns. This emerger tied in an olive color, sizes 18 to 22, will duplicate the real BWO emergers....

Ghost Wing CDC Hatch Master
Просмотров 5535 лет назад
The Ghost Wing CDC Hatch Master is a great little fly to use during a BWO hatch. When the fly is dry, it can be fished as a dry and when wet, the fly can be fished as an emerger. Best results for me have been as an emerger, size 18 and 20.
Organza Crawler Nymph
Просмотров 2045 лет назад
Organza Crawler Nymph is one of my favorite go to nymphs during quite times on the water. Great searching pattern. Used generally as the up fly on a two fly nymphing rig.
Wally Wing Dun Cripple
Просмотров 3615 лет назад
The Wally Wing Dun Cripple can be tied as PMD, BWO (Baetis), Flav, Green or Brown Drake type of mayfly. Great fly to fish during a mayfly hatch in that it gives the fish a look at something different. At times, fish just key in on cripples. Best luck with pattern on the water is when tied at a size 18 and 20 BWO and a size 16 PMD.

Wally Wing - a great wing for a mayfly dry fly that is both realistic looking and delicate. This is a wing that increases a dry fly's performance on the water, especially on spring creeks.
Wired Zebra Midge Emerger/Pupa - Options

Five (5) Zebra Midge emerger/pupa flies are tied in this video using a wired abdomen template and different thorax configurations. Great little midge flies to have in your fly box that can be used anytime of the year.
Baetis Parachute Fly with a twist
Просмотров 2916 лет назад
A great little parachute fly to use as a emerger during a baetis hatch or as an indicator fly for trailing a baetis emerger or cripple. An easy fly to tie.
Wally Wing Spinner - My Version
Просмотров 5386 лет назад
A simple, but effective fly that gets the job done whether tied as a PMD , size 16, or a small Trico, size 20. Also, tie this fly pattern in a burnt orange color for a Rusty Spinner, size 14 and 16. This fly can be purchased at JansToReGift on Etsy. Trailing this spinner behind a large dry fly (hopper or stimulator) is an effective way to fish it.
Braided wire caddis pupa
Просмотров 1956 лет назад
This is a caddis pupa that performs well when it is caddis time on the water. Sizes 14 and 16 have been very effective using this color and size combination. The organza material used as the body cape could be a game changer - Gary LaFontaine's great idea. Suggest practicing braiding (weaving) wire on hook before tying this fly.
Blue Damsel Dry Fly
Просмотров 2586 лет назад
An effective fly on the water, especially after a mayfly hatch or when Blue Damsels are buzzing around. Been good fly for me after a PMD hatch during the summer at Silver Creek in Idaho. This fly is time consuming to tie; however, it is worth the effort.
Ghost Wing Baetis Dry Fly Emerger
Просмотров 2086 лет назад
A great little fly to fish during a Baetis hatch. Will land on the water as a dry fly and then, become an emerger as the fly becomes water logged. Sizes 18 and 20 will bring the best results.

    I always grab 2 fibres and pull down because when doing a Wally wing fly 9 times out of 10 one of the fibres will break. I just finished tying a wally wing pattern and out of 6 I tied 4 broke one of the pull fibres. I prefer a hackle on my Hatch masters.

    How well does it hold up? Is it pretty much a one fish wonder?

    • @billmiller1168
      @billmiller1168 3 года назад

      Can be, Franz if thr fish swallows the fly or you take the fly out of the fish's mouth with pliers tearing the wing. A torn wally wing hatch master sometimes performs better since the fly takes on characteristics of an emerger or cripple - just what the fish may want. Normally, land 3 to 4 fish on a hatch master, especially if the fly is removed by pinching the wings together by hand and rotating the hook out of the fish's mouth.

      @@No_NetMan You will definitely enjoy the performance of a wally wing dry fly on the water. Don't use any floatant on a wally wing hatch master. The duck flank feathers are naturally impregnated with floatant. Additional floatant will only weigh the fly down and negatively impact performance.
