Tying Tuesday: The World's Easiest Fly

This week's edition of Tying Tuesday features a pattern that Cheech over at Fly Fish Food calls "the easiest fly in the world." I've always thought of the zebra midge as the easiest, but this little brassie technically requires fewer materials, so perhaps it really is the world's simplest fly. Regardless, you'll learn a great technique for tying these bugs...

Tying Tuesday: Light Olive Flymph

This week's edition of Tying Tuesday features a pattern that's completely new to me - the Light Olive Flymph. A flymph is a combination of a traditional wet fly and a nymph. Davie McPhail ties up an exceptional example of this style of fly, and it's something I'm eager to try here in the Rockies.

Tying Tuesday: Parachute March Brown

It's about the time of year to start thinking about tying (and fishing) March Browns, which is the fly we're featuring this week on Tying Tuesday. The folks at Savage Flies do a wonderful job explaining this pattern, and getting me excited to fish something other than midges soon!

Tying Tuesday: CDL Peacock Caddis

The folks over at Savage Flies have put together a great tutorial for tying an easy beginner caddis dry fly - the CDL Peacock Caddis. As someone who's not a beginner tier but still struggles with tying an elk hair caddis (I can get elk hair to behave on a variety of patterns just fine; on a caddis, though, I can never get it to look right), this is a...

Tying Tuesday: Dorsey's Top Secret Baetis

This week's edition of Tying Tuesday comes to us from Fly Fisherman Magazine. Charlie Craven shows you how to tie a pattern that needs little introduction - Pat Dorsey's Top Secret Baetis.

Tying Tuesday: The Trip Saver

This week's edition of Tying Tuesday features a pattern called the Trip Saver, from the folks over at Mainely Flies. I know a few flies that are personal "trip savers" but this one looks like it's worth having in your box.

Tying Tuseday: The Two Bit Midge

This week's edition of Tying Tuesday features the Two Bit Midge, tied by none other than Charlie Craven. Charlie knows a thing or two about tying, and this is a great pattern to have at the ready over the next few months.

Tying Tuesday: Indestructible Griffiths Gnat

The folks over at Fly Fish Food are back with an intriguing new pattern - a Griffiths gnat that's "indestructible" according to Cheech. If I'm going to take anyone's word for it, I'd take Cheech's. At any rate, I'm going to plan on tying a few of these up.

Tying Tuesday: Brig's Rippin' Rooster

In this week's edition of Tying Tuesday, we're treated to a pattern from Brig over at Fly Fish Food that's "proven to land more fish." With an endorsement like that, how could you go wrong? Kidding aside, this streamer looks plenty fishy, and I think I'll have to add a few to my box.

Video: Underhand Casting

Have you ever heard of underhand casting? Me neither. But apparently it's a technique that has some value, because the folks over at Loop Fly Fishing put together a wonderful video detailing the technique. You can view it below.
