Softhackle Roberts’ Drake (variation) Didn’t have decent hen hackle to partner up with the grizzly so I used a very webby ginger saddle.

BRF Foam Emerger Tied here as a PMD. I have friends coming to MT this summer and, crowds permitting, I was going to meet them at a tailwater for a few days of classy, match-the-hatch fishing, so stuff like this should work (then we’ll go to the east slope and I’ll let them throw foam things at cutts for a change of pace).

Kaufmann’s Foamulator (variation) Made a few modifications to Charlie Craven’s version, mainly in the underwing. Great thing about this fly is, with all the foam for buoyancy, you don’t need to use your best hackle (the grizzly was a webby saddle which, while not adding much to floatation, looks pretty buggy). hook - Dai Riki 730 #8 thread - Uni 6/0 tan tag - Orvis saltwater thread fluoro orange/resin tail - deer hair rib - xsmall wire gold abdomen - Starburst dubbing tan body hackle - ginger (undersize by 2) overbody/head - 2mm foam tan underwing - Congo Hair shiner tan wing - deer hair indicator - Parapost yarn hot orange thorax - Ice Dub hot orange legs - medium rubber cornsnake hackle - grizzly Regards, Scott

Reese’s Surface Assassin Even with it’s butt down in the water, these float pretty well in choppy stuff and they’re easy to see. I’ve made a few very minor changes to his original but the sequence is basically the same. hook - WFC Model 28 #12 thread - Veevus 8/0 tan abdomen - Sexi-floss tan wing/post - Congo Hair white hackle - grizzly dyed copper olive (4 Tsp Rit Golden Yellow, 1/2 Tsp Rit Camel/1 cup water) thorax - Ice Dub golden brown head/indicator - packing foam white Regards, Scott
