What Are You Tying Today?

Savage Seducer. Easy tie. I've had much success with this simple streamer by D Talleur.

Is that fly all hen feathers?

 

[41FanForLife]

My first real attempt at some grizzy hackle.

Just for reference to a new tier what size are these?

Size 16 and 18, but they are Fulling Mill hooks, which are about one size larger than other hook brands. So, about size 14 and 16.

Is there anything I can tie with the remnants of the giant pine tree that fell in my yard yesterday??

If you have any pine cones, and are careful with them you might be able to use some of the pods as wings on flys, or perhaps wing cases on nymphs. 😃. Don’t just take my word on it though, it’s probably best to try it out firsthand.

Tied up some sexy Walt’s worms in different colors. The ones with pink collars have lead wraps for extra weight and the others just beads.

Sorta meal worm-like thingamijigs…

I do those but I just use rubber bands.

 

[KELORGO]

I tried that last year and the rubber bands degraded really quickly, like fish time fishing them quickly. These are mostly a heavy thread, though three have monofilament wraps. If they degrade I’m fishing in the wrong creek 😂

I admit to using live mealworms on the end of my tippet quite frequently when fishing put and take fisheries.

In Idaho, in winter, it's legal on a certain barbless fly fishing only tailwater, to tip your fly with maggots when fishing for whitefish.

On that same water, in June, I witnessed a man get a 100 dollar fine for just having barbed flies in his possession.

Yellow and green stimmy variant.
I know the brookies don't care about the color, but a man's got to fill the hours in a day.

You're a better man than I. I can tie Stimmies well, but it's the one pattern I actually don't mind buying because I do go through them, and it saves me a lot of time. Nice fly 👍

I come at it from the alternate perspective: if I didn't fish them so much, I likely would have tied the pattern 2-3 times and then happily walked away forever.

I dream that someday I'll tie them clean and easy; by that time, though, I might be too old to hike a little brookie stream to use them 😂

Authors Note

The Saguenay Streamer was named for one of Mr. Coulson’s Native American guides. The Saguenay Streamer is part of a trio of streamers originated by Robert E. Coulson of Buffalo, New York. The trio also includes the Lord Denby Streamer and the St. Ignace Streamer which were designed for fishing the large coaster brook trout of Ontario’s Nipigon River. The streamers share a similar style to each other, being dressed with a pulled down collar style throat and the pheasant tippet tails.

Blue Bugger. First tied as a joke for a TU outing on the Little Lehigh. But it caught fish.
For some reason I've had success on the LL with blue. The blue bugger, blue copper johns, and blue bodied dry flies.
But no where else.
