Flies

Tying Tuesday is here, and we're treated to some fantastic little patterns this week. We start out with a stonefly, get treated to a fun egg pattern, and end with a nice pheasant tail variation. Watching these videos this week really has me inspired to sit back down at the vise after far too long away. I know we started off with a stonefly pattern from Fly...

Tying Tuesday starts off with a stonefly nymph, then we'll get an interesting streamer, and finish up with a unique emerger pattern. This emerger, in particular, looks like it'll be a lot of fun, even if its name is about impossible to pronounce. Our first tie this week is from Fly Fish Food. This smaller stonefly nymph is perfect for getting down quickly...

This week's Tying Tuesday features a nice soft hackle pattern from a YouTube channel we've never featured before. You'll also get treated to a simple midge emerger pattern, as well as an easy caddis pupa that should find its own place in your box. The folks over at Fulling Mill start us off this week with a fantastic little midge pattern, tied by signature...

If you're looking for effective fall flies to get a fish's attention, then you've come to the right place. Whether you want a wet fly to toss on the cold days when the trout are warily eating off the top, or a big mouse to tempt a trophy into your net, we've got a great collection of fly tying tutorials this week. Charlie Craven starts us off this week with...

This week's Tying Tuesday starts off with a tutorial on how to tie with deer hair (a skill I desperately need to develop). Then, we learn about an interesting mayfly pattern, and end with a great caddis larva nymph. These flies should all have a spot in your box this fall, and I know tying them will keep me busy if the weather is too foul for fishing. Up...

This week's Tying Tuesday is decidedly fall-themed, with a nice mayfly spinner pattern, and an October caddis in the lineup. We end with a great tutorial on a Woolly Bugger (which I've never been able to tie quite to my satisfactions), and I reckon each of these flies deserves a spot in your box this fall. Up first is a neat little fly from Charlie Craven...

This week's Tying Tuesday is fully fall-flavored, with a fantastic mayfly dun that is screaming to be fished during the late-season blue-wing hatches. Then we have two nymphs, one of which is stillwater-focused, and another that's a variant of a tried-and-true nymph. Up first is this spectacular little mayfly pattern from Davie McPhail, which he calls the...

With fall right around the corner, it's time to fill your fly box with the flies fish want to eat. Among those are caddis and mayfly imitations, and we have two great patterns for those bugs in this week's Tying Tuesday. We've also got a great little wet fly pattern, since fall is an ideal time to swing those flies. Starting us off this week is a fall wet...

With fall right around the corner, this week's Tying Tuesday focuses on patterns that you can run out and use right now. From a jigged trout streamer, to a deadly simple mayfly pattern, to an interesting soft hackle, the only thing we're missing is a good nymph. Leading off this week is Egan's Poacher, a wonderful little jigged trout streamer, tied by...

This week's Tying Tuesday features the most interesting leech pattern I've ever seen, a simple foam beetle, and a caddis nymph that looks deadly! These are fairly trout-centric bugs, but there's no reason they wouldn't work for other fish, too. The leech, in particular, looks like it'd be a good bass and carp fly. To start us off is a pattern from a channel...
