Couple of backstabbers last night, probably a few leeches tonight if I get the time, and I've really got to check on my supply of para-adams...I may need to tie more of those for the slate drake hatch.
 
Knocked out a few black sparkle ants (Krystal dub) in between chores. They produce steadily for me until the the frosts. BTW, I fish them wet almost all the time.
 
sulphurs and spent chimarra caddis
 
Tied up a few #14 Adams using the classic recipe last night, then spiced one up with some cinnamon uv dub...

1 dz. woven body caddis size 14 for a friend.
 
What a good idea for a thread Bob... :roll: I'm tying cahills right now. Ants and beetles next.
 
I am working on some mink nymphs,thanks to lv2nymph's care pacage of furs.I hope to have a pic soon to share
 
Nice Mike, look forward to it.
 
Copper Bead Head Olive Wooly Buggers on size 8 and 10 nymph hooks with brown arctic fox tail.

I tied a couple on Sat and caught a rainbow with it on Sunday. First trout on my own fly.
 
some green weenies for a friend and some mini foam hoppers for myself

Congrats RC! i know the feeling just happened to me a few weeks ago, its a great feeling
 
Sulphur emergers - trying to "solve the riddle" and get more consistent takes in the earlier evening when it is still light. So far my success in dayligh/dusk has been poor, but once it is almost too dark to see - they hit my bob wyatt style deer hair emerger well.
I am guessing color is not right. Trying more brownish abdomens, using sbecker's example from the emerger swap.

Later add on; one of them got yanked off this eve. by a large log dwelling trout. Managed to drag him out from under once, but he popped the 6x the second time he got back to his lair. Oh well...
 
I like this thread. Lately for me it's been either no inspiration or too much! Lol. I sat down to tie last night, and wanted to tie so many different flies I wasn't sure where to start. So I tied a couple of EP minnows, a gurgler, a green drake dry fly, and an olive rubber legged wooly bugger!
 
Size 14 beadhead psycho prince nymphs and some pats stoneflies for my trip to Wyoming next month.

Haven't tied a whole lot lately but I have the materials and the Mulberry Fly is the next one on the list. After all, the "Mulberry Hatch" is just around the corner for all you brownliners. Hope I haven't already missed it.

Dang it! While mowing the yard tonight I checked the couple of mulberry trees along my back property line and about at least 25% of the berries have already ripened and a fair number of them are already on the ground. I need to get some tied up and get to the stream by this weekend at the latest. The mulberry hatch is not very long lived.

Tied a dozen sunken beetles. They resemble a June bug. Woven Krienek with raffia as the shell back and Sally Hansen's hard as nails on the shell back. Also tied six slate drake CETs.
