October Flies From The Vise

Recommended Posts

Weeding out the buggers, decided to do a few with glass beads for bodies on the recycled hooks.  Might be another name for these, not sure.

Working on a batch of streamers for nephew to be trolled in remote Maine ponds for brook trout.  This has been the most successful pattern to date and he and his guests go through quite a few.

Is that a hook 0? Haven’t seen one of those yet lol.  Been loving the One Feather One Thread series on Reddit. 



@Gene L and @RickZieger those flies look like fish catchers for sure

 

 

Gotta get me some of these, do they tie in as an assembly or do you go one by one? 

They as a 6 leg assembly, smaller flies I cut off back 2

That’s a fun one.  I think it would be fun to strip on a sinking line.

This has worked for panfish with a very slow retrieve.

Deer Fly

Pop’s Recipe

Hook - Wet/dry fly
Thread - Red
Tail - Black⁠
Body - Gold Tip, Green Floss
Wings - White⁠
Hackle - White⁠

Optional⁠
Wings - Grizzly hackle tips⁠
Hackle - Grizzly or Brown⁠

Another offering for popsflies - The Deer Fly but tied with the optional grizzly hackle wing tips and grizzly hackle.

Pop, aka Harry K. Cameron (1894-1973), kept a little black notebook and a stack of index cards with 99 different hand-drawn fly patterns and their recipes. He tied these flies and fished them on the Arkansas and South Platte Rivers west of Colorado Springs, CO.⁠

Thanks Heff2.

Tied two a few weeks ago, had a little success on a new WW river but lost them pretty quickly.  So I tied up these to try again.  Little rough around the edges, kinda funky winding the hackle and thread through the beads.  I like the way they cast and how they look in the water.
