Some various sulphur patterns. Featuring CDC and Shoeshoe Hare fur. Hoping to see some sulphur action on the jam next week.

Hi DC, nice ties
can you describe how you fish the topmost fly? it looks like it has snowshoe like an emerger for riding in the film, and soft hackle like a wet to swing.

 

[dc410]

Thanks mikesl. I fish it right in the film. It is designed to be a cripple pattern. Takes on a real buggy and kind of screwed up look like a sulphur that just couldn't free itself of the shuck and is just stuck drifting aimlessly in the film. Hangs real good in the film with the snowshoe and CDC. Easy pickings for the trout!

 

[mikesl]

Thansk DC, sounds good - I will have to add a few of those

 

[mikesl]

some caddis nymphs - very effective pattern for me, these are size 14's

Woolly Bugger on size 12 4xl Orvis streamer hook. Even with micro chenille they look too fat so I tried tying a few with cotton floss from Walmart for the body.

Heading up camp this weekend in hopes of finding some brown drakes hatching on the west and main branch of the Tionesta so ive been tying accordingly.

Some Walt's Worms with a chartreuse bead head for a hot spot.

These are size 14 barb-less with lead wire to make them fairly heavy. Used hare's ear wiggle dub with some krystal flash wrapped through.

May head out this morning to try them out.

Some rainy day flies tied with cat gut and synthetic quills.

Well, I didn't make it out in the morning, but managed to get two this afternoon.

Wheff: Nice looking ties!

Brassie, #20, black soft wire, black HE dubbing for thorax. If you have not tried soft wire yet you should. It has become a good friend.

No they are Synthetic Quill body. Those are Adams grey. You don't have to soak them, they won't break and when I tie it off, I coat them with Clear Cure Goo Hydro.
