My attempt at the Clouser Swimming Nymph on a size 6 4xl. Think I shoulda went with a lighter hackle, but hopefully the smallies won’t notice.

Now you're dead...
Not sure that tail is going to cut it. It might float wonky.

By Roch St-Laurent of Quebec, this is a fly for bright sunny days when there is a bit of colour in the water.

Throwing a few more together last minute before I head out in the morning. Now there's definitely no chance I actually see drakes.

I really like the looks of that extended body coffin fly.
I recently invented this bunny streamer. I named it the Easy Bunny. When I first began fly fishing, I messed around with and tied and fished bunny strip streamers, and then I had largely abandoned them. There were always qualities about them I didn't like. A few weeks ago I spun this up, and so far I'm impressed with the results on smallmouth, and it should do well on trout, too. I think the Easy Bunny will remain a streamer staple for me for a while.

One of my all time favorite carp bugs. All natural fur and feathers. Brown pheasant marabou tail, split thread mink fur body and a soft hackle crow covert feather for the collar. Along with medium black bead chain eyes to get it down into the silt and flip it hook point up. Tied on a size 6 2XH wet fly hook.

That’s an awesome looking fly. It’s buggy and just looks like something you’d like to fish.
