Tying Tuesday: Streamers Galore!
This week's Tying Tuesday is streamer-heavy, but that's to be expected given the time of year. You'll learn how to put together a Fish Skull River Creature, and Cheech's secret Complex Twist bugger. You'll also get treated to a great Catskill dry fly. This first fly is from the folks at AvidMax, and it's tied from one of their kits. This one is the Fish...
Tying Tuesday: Midges, Leeches, and CDC
This week's Tying Tuesday is a diverse collection of bugs you'll probably use in the next month before things get too cold and the fishing shuts down. We start out with a CDC emerger pattern for lakes, move on to a midge emerger, and finish up with a nice little leech. Al these flies look fairly simple to tie, and look like they should put a few fish in the...
Tying Tuesday: Streamers!
This week's Tying Tuesday is streamer heavy. I guess it's that time of year! We start out with an interesting flashy minnow pattern, then move on to the most unique leech I've ever seen. We'll finish up with an ol' classic, tied up in purple. The first fly this week is a Palmer Chenille Minnow, from the folks at All Points Fly Shop + Outfitter on YouTube...
Tying Tuesday: Woolly Buggers, Blue-Wings, and Damsels
Winter keeps trying to make an appearance, so while we wait, why not tie some flies? This week's Tying Tuesday is an interesting mix of streamers, dries, and nymphs, so there's something here for everyone, even if you don't primarily chase trout. Does the Woolly Bugger need any improvements or changes? The folks at All Points Fly Shop say they're not trying...
Tying Tuesday: Winter Midges, Bunny Leeches, and CDC
This week's Tying Tuesday is heavy on the subsurface flies, with a midge and streamer tutorial leading the way. You'll get treated to a simple CDC emerger, as well. It's time to start filling boxes for next spring, and these are all great flies to start with. Davie McPhail leads us off this week with a 3-in-1 video! You'll get an up-close look at three...
Tying Tuesday: Stoneflies, Eggs, and Pheasant Tails
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: Stoneflies, Streamers, and Emergers
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...
Tying Tuesday: Midges, Caddis, and Soft Hackles
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...
Tying Tuesday: Hooks, Wet Flies, and Mice
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...
Tying Tuesday: Deer Hair, Mayflies, and Caddis
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...
