A flashy pattern variation for an emerger that has worked well for me...

Mayfly flymphs are also nymphs!

Some expo leftovers to take fishing this year...



Thanks Lance!

Another fly for my to tie list before the rendezvous!

I think Skues termed this "The Rediscovery of the Obvious" by observant fishers separated over time.

I tie a heavy bodied P&O with hot orange Depthray nylon floss as a go to attractor for a high lake I fish.

You can use silk floss for split thread dubbing- a technique used in classic Atlantic Salmon flies.

Great looking flies! I would love to fish them as a 2 fly cast with Bill's wire weighted version on point.
