I managed to get out Sunday and swing some flies for trout. The weather was very cooperative and the bugs were coming off the water. My friend and I loaded his drift boat and got off to a late start. We started with two caddis flies in tandem and that seemed to be the ticket. We caught several fish ...

Ray, Yes, that is a competition hook (Hanak) and I fish them in tandem. Sometimes I use the same fly and other times I vary the point fly.

Johnno,

Thank you for the generous offer and I would like a sample if available in smaller sizes.

Best regards,

Amazing! Wonderful ties and what an excellent tribute to Pete Hidy.

Hook #18 Hanak, thread Sheer 14/0 yellow, body Barry's Tups dubbing blend (spun on Clark dubbing block with Primrose Pearsall's Silk), blonde/yellow hen hackle.

Ray,

Thanks for reminding me, I forgot to mention the thread. It is olive Semperfli nano silk 18/0 (30 denier) and I heavily waxed it with Overton's wonder wax.

Another BWO fly. I made the body out of CDC and the hackle is dun hen. Hook is a mustard RU-94842 #18.

Ray, I can see the pictures this morning and they look fantastic! Thanks for taking the time to post this tutorial. What I like the most is the Sam Adams in the background! It may be the most essential item for tying flies at times.
