2 part system

 

the breathers are tied on the tippet making the "bowtie"

 

the fly is tied as shown

 

when fished the fly will hang just below the surface

 

here is an excellent video on sawyers flies

Having recently relocated back to my childhood home, I have had to stash away my half a dozen boxes filled with classic steelhead wets and spey's into the bottom drawer of the tying bench for another time and place - perhaps when I am long gone, they will end up in a curators collection. I pulled out a dozen of my trout boxes and started to re-organize them for the hatches and conditions that I would encounter on my new home waters. I get to fish almost everyday on a gold medal trout stream so I have a chance to start a new fishing log book and discover different hatch timing or particular flavors that the trout prefer.

 

Here are some of the most effective patterns that I have used in the past thirty days.

I like the "bowtie" system, Flytire. Do you use a bead on the leader, or just tie a knot big enough to keep it from passing back through the eye?

I Have tried these my self but they just did not do it for me. I just used a knot.

Nicely tied.

Halfdunn ... have you fished those wooden bead flies? They look pretty good, I'm waiting to hear how they work in the water.

No just tied them today. I will give them a swim and see what happens. Could be a while though as our waters have been suffering due to high water tempretures.

Yet another try in free hand (no vise) of the beatifull Carrie Stevens patterns, the Greyhound.

Hope you like it.

The knot + the breathers cannot pass thru the eye
