I'd rather drink some than fish it.

Turns out: not mutually exclusive.

My first attempt at a elk hair caddis. Only been tying since Christmas. You guys are really making some beautiful looking flies.

Much better than my first attempt. I bet it catches fish!

These work REALLY well. I picked a couple up in Montana to use on rivers out that way, and had lots of success around here with them too.

I’ve been tying some streamers for smallmouth fishing, if I can find time to get out this spring. I found this baitfish pattern from Brian Schumaker called the shimmer minnow.

The materials are a size 2 stinger hook and a 15mm shank, connecting wire, white marabou, medium palmer chenille in pearl, a gray copic marker, and a fish-mask head.

A simple caddis larva pattern that I’ve been messing around with.
