Well that should hold me for a little while. LOL
Now if I only had room for my Caddis larva and pupae, stoneflies, dork flies, streamers, and bead heads. 😂

I ain't the smartest guy in the world, but I think you're ready for the season.

Saw this pattern tied as a Green Drake and thought it could work in Hendrickson Pink and on a size 14 hook.

Woke up early for some reason. Spun up more crayfish and Montana hybrids (pictured above)

You actually carry all these flies while fishing?

......and more. 😂
Of course a lot of them just go along for the ride until the hatches make them appropriate, but I can usually find something in there to use most any time of year.
If not there, then in the pockets of my vest.

I'm digging that little guy.....I need to tie some of those myself if my materials (furry foam) are still any good. I think it degrades over time and mine is about 25 years old. 😂
Been a while.
You ever tie any so that the hook rides point up?

I bought two packs a few months back that clearly had been sitting in the fly shop for decades. They turned to dust as soon as I opened them. Ha.
I was thinking about inverting the pattern after I tied this morning, as I haven't water tested these and I was a wondering if the bead chain eye on the bend will flip them. I haven't tried it yet, though. Tying the foam inside the bend seems like it will be pretty annoying.
I'm also sort of thinking that if the beadchain does flip the fly as tied above, I'm maybe fine with that? If I'm casting to fish that are thinking, "Wait a second, why is this crayfish laying on its carapace," then I am likely screwed either way.
