Had fish rising all around me yesterday afternoon in the breeches, but they wouldn’t take any dries I threw. Noticed some small midges flying around so I tied some 20’s that’ll hopefully imitate them next time.

I’ve been tying a lot of caddis flies recently. Here is a version of a diving caddis.

I do not know the color. I got a piece of Arctic fox at a Project Healing Waters give away and there was no packaging. Tied this color up to try and imitate a Lake Erie Shiner, used for Steelhead.

Nice tie on the usual. I've had a lot of success with this pattern, I sometimes refer to it as the Walt's worm of generic searching dry fly patterns.

Tups indIspensable soft hackle, tied on a size 14 Moonlit ML102 hook. I’m kind of looking forward to adding this pattern to my triple wet fly rig this Spring when the sulphurs are active.

I wanted to step outside of my comfort zone this tying season. This week... first attempts at articulation and deer hair heads.

What size is this tied on?
Looks like it would be deadly on pike

The mini has a #4 front (MFC 7050) and #6 rear hook (MFC 7052). I think the standard dungeon typically has a #1 front #4 rear.
