SBPatt 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2021 Softhackle Spundun Spruce Moth hook - WFC Model 4 #10 thread - Veevus 8/0 tan body - Ice Dub hare’s ear wing - Congo Hair shiner tan collar - pronghorn hair shoulder - sharptail grouse head - 1mm foam tan Appropriately enough, the pronghorn came not too far from the stream where I’m planning to fish the pattern (the sharptail came from a few counties to the north).

Baron 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2021 Gentlemen it may seem like I'm haunting these pages but I'm new and have to learn things to some deeper degree than just buying off the shelve. I often go and read about what some of these represent and when/how to utilize them. From these postings I also get the 40-50-60 years of experience and materials details that I would need to tie them as well. SBPatt just posted the Green Drake and Flytire the Montana Nymph. These are two that I have on my list of needs for Henry's fork this summer, June/July. Yellow is okay Lt Green is Good Dk Green is hot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baron 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2021 I'm regret asking that, lol, I really should have been specific about what info I was after which was: what state or region eastern slope western slope River lake I don't need these answers except to tailor my flybox's and to be fair I can get that info from the net and then locally from fly shops once I arrive. Nice work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baron 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2021 Scott, I have allot of unbridled zeal and I should have been more considerate. On the other hand Isn't this a great hobby? And it is Global in perspective, so Global that I bet Li'lDave's beautiful tubes and Nymphs don't even have an NZ accent. Nice job on the PT Li'lDave. I'll lay off this now a bit but I'm watching and benefitting from all of your work. Thanks for being willing to post. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sandan 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2021 Last nights Bugs and Bourbon Two types of PMD spinners. 6 of each. Size 18. Recipe upon request. @Baron@Baron those are for Henry's Fork. July 10-17. Tied some Catskill style pink Albert's the other day. Also for Henry's and Slough and Soda Butte Creeks. Size 16. Whipped up some size 20 parachute Adam's variations on Tuesday. The cripple, well I tied some of them too. Size 14. Maybe they'll work for Flavs. As always fantastic and inspiring work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
