>>>What Are You Tying Today? Part VI

[Tigereye]

Size 12 Orange Fishhawk. An “old school” wet fly pattern included in the plates of Ray Bergman’s book. I’ll never hesitate to tie one of these bugs onto one of my wet fly rigs because they just flat out hunt.

Deer Hair CDC caddis - SZ 16. At 65 I have a ton of trouble seeing these guys on the stream. Thought I'd add some Krystol flash. I hope the fish don't care.

I was give the minnow pattern on the lid (the top one) about 5 years ago. Was always afraid to fish it because i didn’t want to lose the only one I had. The closest thing I found that I had materials to tie was a Pinfry pattern.
Lead weight.
Mallard flank
red floss
tan thread
white floss for head

I love those Slate Drakes! That bottom one though I'd lose those tails just tying it on my line!

Thanks!....as long as I don't get too heavy handed with the hemostats releasing fish, the March Brown tails actually hold up pretty well!

A favorite of mine. Green ( chartreuse) bodied Adams # 16. Great searcher and good when Lime Sallies are flitting about. Also good in summer; perhaps they view it as a terrestrial.

i'll second that one. Used to just call that a yellow Adams. But very effective especially early and as many have said, yellow flies work very well on the Tully for some reason.
