#12 Stimmie. One of my favorite fishing flies that's one of my least favorite to tie. Just testing how I can do after a drink or 15.
Not mad.

Looking to spin up a few more “old school” bugs here in 2026. Here is the first one of the year - The Hornberg tied on a size 10 3XL hook.

Size 14 SBR Sulphur Numph. 1st one and I jacked the tail up a little bit. Not sure why this stupid easy pattern is giving me the fits.

This was my old buddy’s favorite fly. I still tie them today and crush fish on them. I’ve never fished them dry but more like a wet fly/streamer. They will be on my list at some point this winter. Thank god I still have 2 legit jungle **** necks. Great Job BTW!

@nfrechet,
You tying with eyes dialated, in a welders helmet, with one hand tied behind your back will still yield a better fly than I can ever tie!!

The pattern for this fly, came from the fine book by Bruce Ferguson, Les Johnson, and Pat Trotter, Fly Fishing For Pacific Salmon. They write that this fly was originated by James Garrett of Sequim, Washington. It is good for Coho, Pinks and Chum.
