Fly patterns

[Sbyrne]

Hi Guys
My son and I are headed to the Pine for the last week of may, I understand that we should hit Green Drakes and maybe Brown, do any of you have any patterns you are willing to share so that I can fill a couple of boxes ?

I dont fish PINE much for the simple reason that I am so busy in the spring I stay closer to home. I have a buddy that is there all the time I will contact him and see if he has any suggestions. I will say if the drakes are coming off the coffin fly is a must to have. Tie with extended white deer hair body and moose main split tails (3) and I use poly pro for downed wings. Tie the poly pro thin though just enough to keep her afloat. Also make sure you have the rusty spinner sizes 14/12 is what I use. On the coffin fly its a size 10 3XL shank dry fly kook I catch more on these than the drake flies. Always go with the pheasant and hairs ear...hope this helps

I like caddis emergers and dry caddis for the Pine. You have to have some March Brown Dry Flies.

That's a great week to fish pine creek.
Besides the drakes, be sure to have sulphers, gray fox, and march browns too

I figured that much lol, i should've rephrased the question to what is the wing material?

 

[drews]

Cant speak for sandfly, but read a post from him a while ago interesting, I think the material is called raffeta (sp) I THINK he has a wing cutter and may burn the edges...dont quote me Im sure he'll see this and respond.

 

[sandfly]

raffia dyed and colored. then treated for strength. complete tying instructions on my website

The green drake and the march brown look amazing.

There is a softhackle emerger for the march brown & green drake that works great on Pine. I'll take some photos later.

2 very simple flies to tie for the green drake are a size 8 & 10 2XL long Adams with a pale yellow body. And the comparadun with CDC for a trailing shuck.
