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.

Tups indispensable wet fly tied on a size 14 hook. This is a really old English pattern created way back in the 1890’s with an interesting history. I’ve never tied or fished this pattern before but I’m hoping to add it to my wet fly rig this season when the sulphurs start popping and the trout are working the upper water column. I’m sure it’ll net a few fish.

Try the Tups in the thorax of a Hendrickson pattern.

Crayfish that's a cross between an MK Baby Cray and a Carp Bitter, #6.

Departure for my carp trip is a little over a week out. My box is pretty much set at this point, so I'll go back to badly tying dries or whatever soon.
