I am planning on fishing the grannoms at least one trip, two if I am lucky.
So far, I have tied a few different patterns, including:
cased larvae (size 12 2xl - not sure if that's right size)
EHC (peacock body, dark hair wing, no hackle) in 12 and 14
Peacock and starling in 12 and 14
Peacock and brown in 12 and 14
Snowshoe caddis in 12 and 14
I'll try to post some pictures tomorrow.
I think I should have the hatch about covered. I tied them all with and without green egg sacks. If anyone sees a hole in my arsenal, feel free to point it out. I am looking for a few more grannom patterns to add to my box. (Pairing wings sucks, so I will give jonas money for leadwings. :-D)
One question I do have is regarding grannom sparkle pupas. Should I grab some dark colored antron, or is the standard white/beige stuff sufficient?
Anyway, feel free to share your grannom ties or ask your grannom questions here. I think it's time to start getting excited for the first blizzard hatch of the year.
