flytire 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2022 Maggot Hook - Mustad 3906B, size 12-16 Thread - Black (White thread under the body) Shell - Dark brown duck quill section over entire body* Body - Light cream latex** Hackle - Dark brown as a wet fly collar Remarks: It is suggested that an under body of white floss or thread be wound forward before the latex; otherwise, the black thread may show through the body. *I substituted black pheasant tail fibers. Note: This could be eliminated completely if desired **I substituted cream colored wonder wrap (span flex) for the latex The Book of Fly Patterns: Over 1,000 Patterns for the Construction of Artificial Flies - Eric Leiser Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flytire 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2022 Philo Caddis Emerger Jack Gartside Hook - Curved caddis, size 12-20 Thread - To match or compliment body color Rib - Pearl krystal flash Body - Blend of squirrel, rabbit and basal fluff from a gamebird feather Wing/thorax - Pheasant aftershaft feather (may be clipped on top) Antennae - Two strands of barred wood duck flank, extending past the hook bend Remarks: This effective design by Jack Gartside may more appropriately belong in the section on caddis pupae and larvae. However, because of its name, and its slightly different structure, it is listed here with other emergers.

niveker 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2022 Betters' Haystack (brown) Hook: #14 Thread: orange, 6/0 (really should use 8/0) Wing: fine deer hair Tail: woodchuck tail (original used fine deer hair, I like woodchuck tail. It's relatively fine, wirey, won't waterlog, and has nice cream ends with some black tipping. And they are wicked cheap) Body: dyed black snowshoe foot under fur, tan kapok, FTD Arctic snow - brown (2:1:1) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flytire 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2022 Dusty Miller - Hairwing Salmon Fly Hook - Mustad 36890, Partridge salmon or equivalent, size 2-10 Thread - Black Tag - Oval silver tinsel Tip - Yellow floss Tail - A golden pheasant crest, over which red hackle fibers half as long Butt - Black ostrich herl Ribbing - Fine oval silver tinsel Body - Rear two-thirds, embossed silver tinsel; front third orange floss Throat - Natural guinea hen fibers, beard style Wing - A sparse mixed bunch of orange, red, and yellow polar bear or calf tail, over which a small bunch of natural brown bucktail or red fox squirrel tail fibers Topping - A golden pheasant crest feather Cheeks - Jungle cock eyes (second eye showing) REMARKS: This pattern is among those derived from the classics which may show variations in the hair wing version due simply to the tyer’s translation from the original. It uses more than the usual number of materials found in a hair wing pattern and thus serves well as a model for similar techniques used in other salmon flies.

Setting the golden pheasant crest is a bitch. I'll need more practice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wire-guided 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2022 A little soft hackle fly I tied with guidance from my LT over facetime, he sent me these feathers and a hare's mask (i didn't realize just what that meant until I opened the package). I think they're partridge he said. I misplaced my head cement so I used a double whip finish to keep it secure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
