Baetis nymphs - trout food

Recommended Posts

Hi guys.

Here are my favorite baetis nymphs tied with tungsten beads. I like them because are very east to tie, effective, easy to find material and super fast to make them ( if your materials are ready prepared each fly will take 3min maximum )

Lot of tiers, these days tie complicate flies, I do not know, probably too much time to spend :) Simple flies and effective too are too often forgotten. Anyway here are my baetis, I prefer to tie in size #14,16 and 18. Each color and size has a row with 20positions in my fly box. I really love them because they catch fish all the time, from late Spring till late Autumn.

Okay, my bodies are smooth and tapered until you magnify them and look closely. How are you tying them so smooth and precisely tapered? Are you tying under a magnifier? Are you tying them super slowly and meticously? They are really really nice ties.

My eyes are still ok no need to use magnifier. But I think that I will start using glasses from this Spring ( difficult to make cdc duns on size #18-22 ).

To obtain fine and tapered bodies I tie a lot the same fly until the result is good and the flies look the same. probably the most important thing is the thread, I use very thin thread: 70den flat is the best for me.

I spend around 3-6 min on a fly. For example, on the gammarus I spend around 6-8min because I have to catch in a dubbing loop the dubbing and CDC fibers. I prepare the CDC and dubbing for that body each time and is time consuming

For a baetis nymph I spend 3 min for tying. I usually tie 10, one after one and I prepare the materials before starting tying process.
