Haha, Yeah we Fish all year long!

Thanks HobbeFly, The fly did really well for me this year!!

You can purchase Grip hooks from Great Feathers in Maryland. Mark, Yeah Grips are great hooks. Kevin turned me on to them. I have a few flies that still need to be shot that are on Grips.

Nice Fly Mark. Love the look on the Grip!!! Great Job. Send me a dozen!! Chad

Nice, looking forward to them.

Kevin, Great Fly. Looks like a real fish catcher to me. Looks awesome on the Grip.

My flies went out last friday. should be there any day now. Got to try out the October Caddis Larva and it did very well. Cheers

October Caddis Larva are done, just need to be bagged and tagged. Addy please!!!

Good One Matt! Real buggy. Love the dibbing mix! Can't wait to see that one in action!

Thank you!

Good Job Matt! Can't wait to see this one in action.

Blue Buzzers are are Great. Nice fish too!

thanks man. Chad

Thanks all! Haven't fished this one may try it this fall. But it looks like it will be a late spring or early summer fly. Ill have to tie some smaller fall versions.

Based off Oliver Edwards Green Drake Mayfly. The Blue Wing Olive Hook: Partridge K3A Swedish Dry Fly #14 Thread: Power Silk Brown Tail: Golden Pheasant Body: Ligas Ultratranslucent Olive Dubbing Rib: Xtra-small Olive Ultra Wire Hackle: Cree Dryfly Wing: Puglisi EP Fibers 3-D Olive Thorax: Mix CDC and FTD Mr. Peacock I haven't tied on these hooks for sometime, but since I have been playing around with a bunch of various mayfly patterns, I decided to break out the Swedish Dries and give it a shot. Enjoy and Tight Threads. Chad

I am in for a caddis Swap, Ill tie up a caddis larva of some sorts.

Will, Whats your booth #? I will stop by and say Hi. Chad

Anyone heading to Denver for the Flyfishing Retailer this weekend? Just curious how many will be walking the halls of the convention Center. Cheers

Ray, I tied the tail in then the biot and a bit of the dubbing. Then I tied the midge braid in, then hackle. (I was playing with a few different materials instead of the midge braid and settled in on the midge braid, since it wasnt too bulky and give it a small bit a flash. I tried mono, parachute post, thread and a few other things, but nothing worked the way I wanted it to and held the hackle the way I was expecting. So hence the Midge braid won out.) Wrapped the hackle up and down about a 1/4" on the braid. Pulled in back towards the tail and dubbed the thorax area and then pulled over the hackle/braid and tied off. Hope this helps.

I would say either Cliffs Bugger Barn or the Bugger Beast. Either one are really good for Streamers.

Nice Tie Ray. I like the look of it.

I am going to vote other, because I seem do well with different colors, my favorite color is the Olive and Olive/black mix. I did really well with a burnt org/brown recently for little cuttys. Blue was a favorite of mine when I first started fishing the CJ. I like experiment with the various different color combos that are available. Try different colors and experiment with smaller sizes for those tailwaters you are now fishing.

I like it, very well done. Ill have to add a few of those to the box.
