Re: Timpanoga Flymph
Thanks Guys. That is a great looking fly. the modeling of that hackle and tail is fantastic. And I'm not sure what the Great Blue-Winged Red Quill is, but it sounds like the male Hendrickson (Subvaria) Mayfly. Do you guys have that hatch in Oregon? Just curious. The pattern does look like a great ma...

CDL Flymph
One for steelhead here in the PNW. I tie a few of this style with the CDL in #8 and #10 for steelhead. A very practical steelhead fly that works well where the steelhead like a smaller more buggy fly. http://i907.photobucket.com/albums/ac275/OldHat_photos/PardoFlymphCinnamon.jpg Hook: Bartleet tradi...

Re: experimenting.....and a new (for me) dubbing
Hi Ray, It is one of my patterns but I don't really have name for it. I just think of it as my chukar-tailed flymph. :roll: Very original I know. It also works well as a trout pattern tied considerably more sparse than the steelhead version. Works well for the local Timpanoga (great blue-winged red ...
