One of the earlier fly patterns using poly yarn as polypropylene was invented in 1954. This is the pattern that I added to create a Stone Condiment series of ties. IWe all stand on the shoulders of giants! This pattern simulates the Little Yellow Stone and can be tied on a larger size (8-10) hook for a Big Golden Stone imitation. Hook - Mustad 94840, 10-14 (or size 8-10 for a Big Golden Stone imitation) Thread - black Body/Tail - golden poly yarn, wrapped with open spiral thread wraps to the front and folded back over itself Hackle - grizzly dry fly, wrapped as an open spiral covering the thread wraps and used to tie down the folded back poly I love Michigan originated flies.They don't get the attention they should.I have seen this one before but never knew the history.SB has done some great work with the deer hair bodies here in the past.

WWKimba 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2022 Next couple of days I'll show a couple from the husband/wife tying team of Gretchen and Al Beatty. EZY Crawfish - One of the patterns included in their How to Tie!! EZY Trout Fies: Simple Flies Anyone Can Tie (February 15, 2017). Even though they share credit for their ties'` this one was a creation of Gretchen. According to the story behind this fly she tied a few of these and hid them in Al's lunchbox while he was guiding a young man, It was a slow day that morning so when Al opened his lunch and saw the ties with a note from Gretchen, and with the slow morning he figured that the fly was worth a try. After lunch the young man hooked a nice fish and started "hootening and hollering" and startled two young ladies that were on the bank - getting an all over tan! The guy lost the fish but caught a good glance. It turned out to be a good day on the Madison River for the young man that day! Hook - 3 XL, 2-8 Thread - Rib - copper wire. tied on bottom and far side of the hook Body - brown chenille, anchored on the bottom of the hook shank Hackle - brown dry fly, anchored on your side of the hook Shellback - brown poly yarn, brushed out and tied on the top of the hook Claws - brown marabou, tied on top of shank and cut off beveled Optional eyes - bead chain, lead dumbbell or red dumbbell (red for late mid-season flies - red is egg sack. OR wrap lead wire on shank on before tying the rib Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
