What Are You Tying Today?

[Fishmore]

One more for today. Just for fun.

Size 12 Mustad 3366-BR sproat hook (just what I had), UV purple ice dub with 140D UltraThread in fire orange and white CDC.

Might need a haircut, but so do I😀

Tried some CDC on a beaded hook.

Made this with 1 whole olive CDC feather, some gold Ulra Wire (med), and red 6/0 UNI-thread.

Was trying to come up with a way to use the whole feather instead of cutting a bunch away and just using it as a collar / thorax.

Think I’m going to do a few more, but tie in the CDC at the middle instead of the start of the bend.

Seems like it would fish pretty much like a microbugger. No problems there.

That is a good description of how they turned out - was thinking the same......micro-bugger. I started out trying peacock herl body nymphs with a CDC hackle. Got frustrated with the CDC and ended up making these. Never really tied nymphs - gotta work on keeping a taper and wire wrapping skills.

Your post of the wet fly Bishop is absolutely perfect. One of the finest examples of wet flies I have ever seen.

Soft hackle with dubbed body and partridge & a deer hair emerger. I didn't get to fish today. I'm sad about it.

Very nice! I really like this style of emerger. I used some snowshoe here but I like deer as well. They do catch fish.

Splitsville caddis. Failing much worse than this previously is what lead me to learning parachute and hackle stacker. I'm reasonably satisfied with this tie. There is definitely room to do better, but it'll catch trout.

#10 Edson Dark Tiger style. Maybe a bit too sparse with the buck tail and i didnt have yellow chenille so i used some flashy yellow stuff i had on hand. I had purple thread spooled up so that is what I used.
