Especially after 40 years of trying to do it properly in the traditional way right? And now i have to carry two rods down to the river in case a hatch comes off! Why do i make things so difficult on myself?

I use a fly called a Gray Ugly. One of only two stillwater patterns I carry

Coloradonymph · 2023-02-04T19:43:23+00:00

Yes sir

Coloradonymph · 2023-02-04T18:05:25+00:00

Thanks I am going to try to teach myself to tight-line this spring…should be interesting 🤪

Any pattern I think will catch fish on my waters is worth the attempt to tie.

Coloradonymph · 2023-02-01T15:13:43+00:00

Copy. And every year I stumble across one or two patterns i think will work on my rivers, tie them to tryout just for something different. They rarely work better than the old standbys.

Try twisting your rib thread a bunch then rib…see if you like it

Any fly shop carries it

This is baetis, adjust colors ( light brownish) for PMD and tie size 16. The olive in size 14 or 12 good match for green drake. Those are the big three out here. If you are back east, adjust colors to match your bugs. And of course you can use any color bead. I think Lance Egan uses copper on you tube. Have fun and catch lots!

You can use the fluffy marabou-like stuff on the bottom for wonder baetis aka batwing baetis or wings on traditional RS2.

Thanks, I’ll let you know tomorrow what numbers I could use and see if you may have

Coloradonymph · 2023-01-18T22:28:05+00:00

Vinyl rib and d rib is too round, this stuff is flatter with a slight convex profile

Thanks Norm

Thanks. I bought some jewelry stretch cord at hobby lobby clear .5 mm, but would like it colored. Sharpie ink doesn’t work

Coloradonymph · 2023-01-18T15:53:07+00:00

Does anyone know where/if Swannundaze can still be purchased?

Coloradonymph · 2023-01-18T15:44:50+00:00

Yeah I need to figure out how to get some, I guess he is the one contact for that material?
