What Are You Tying Today?

[JerryC]

Last few flies for my Ontario trip in two weeks. These are patterns I haven't used in a couple of years.
This one is called a "Bead Belly". A guy in my saltwater fly fishing club showed it to me many years ago. I used it for a couple of years as a silverside imitation, but moved on to unweighted baitfish patterns.
Generic bait fish

Perch

Hook- Gamakatsu Straight Shank Worm hook, 1/0
Thread - clear polyester thread
Body - Flash blended Mirror image
Belly - Two large silver bead heads in front of a piece red Mirror Image
Eyes - Living Eyes, 6 mm
Head - UV Resin

This one is a Short Floating Woolly Bugger. I usually tie them on a long shank and larger hook. Usually I'll fish it like a gurgler across the top. It has a big enough head to use it as a popper.

Hook- Kona XS Stinger, size 2
Thread - 3/0 color to match body
Body - Crystal chenille and wrapped saddle hackle
Head- 3/8" Foam cylinder
Eyes - Living Eyes, 8.5 mm

Crease Fly(modified). Crease flies were one of my go to flies when I fished salt water, but I moved away from when I fished fresh water. Normally tied on a single straight shank hook, I think the action is better "tied" this way.



Hook- VMC 9648 BZ barbless treble
Thread - only to wrap on the hook shank or in this case the articulated shank as a base to glue the foam
Body - Large articulated shank with 2 mm craft foam, cut in a triangular shape, folded in half over the shank. Halves glued together then trimmed to shape Eyes - Living Eyes, 8.5 mm
Tail - Dressed treble hook

Something to throw in the box for the upcoming WW jam. Clouser on a size 4 Gamakatsu B10S hook.

Freestyled this shrimpy thing for a trip to the outer banks. First foray into tying, and eventually fly fishing saltwater. First time dubbing with marabou, really like the leggy effect.

Restocking the Y2Ks.

I aquired some materials that had black egg yarn. Not sure what to do with it. I never heard of black eggs.

IDK can you make some leech streamers with that black yarn?

Not sure, i guess I will figure something out. I never made leech streamers so many I will check them out.

Might work nicely for 2 body sections on a wet black ant pattern.

Good idea. I can blend it like dubbing maybe. I have been wanting to try an ant pattern.

Certainly a fly I've posted in the past, but, looking through photos today, I realized this gets credit for so many of my fish across many species. Only had 2 left.

A long size 4. Grizzly hackle.

A few bunny flies

After years or seeing crayfish everywhere I decided last night that I should tie some. I'll probably catch a raccoon. Found the basic idea online and then freestyled. Supposedly the tail makes it act like a crankbait. And a lot of lead on the hook is supposed to offset the foam's buoyancy
