I am doing fantastic, the nymphing has been increadible all winter! I'm getting out every weekend but maybe two since the beginning of December and have been in double digits more times than not...
Brookie, that is an awesome tie! That looks like a killer...

Thanks, Jack! I appreciate it.

Your mink nymphs look like a killer pattern as well.

Jack's beadhead mink nymph is an awesome pattern. A serious fish catcher!

I have a suggestion for an up grade to this posting. What about posting your material list for the fly you are showing? I am always fascinated by what materials people choose. Hook type and size is such a variable. Let me know what you think off this?

That is all good loking flys posted above. You guys are cranking them out. Great job by all.

Very nice tie Mike! Well tied and has a great shape to it. When wet I bet that comes alive...

Since I am going to concentrate more on flyfishing small freestone brookie streams this year I have been tying flies to use for that. Yesterday I tied a dozen micro conehead wooly buggers in three different colors. The standard black, brown and olive. Tied them on old Mustad 9674 size 14 hooks. They are about an inch long. I also tied a half dozen small mickey finn streamers. Put those on old Mustad 3665A streamer hooks in size 14. Today I am working on the standard adams pattern. I use white parapost for the wing. It makes it easier to see on the water. Those are on Mustad 98430 size 14. I recently dedicated my old Down's 3 tray fly chestbox just for these small streams. Now I am trying to fill it. LOL.
