webline 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2010 Great, simple and good looking fly. Well tied :thumbup: Thanks a lot It is a simple pattern but still not easy to find a good picture of the Mosquito - at least I found only two good ones as a reference. I do like to database here so I felt I should add something myself from time to time. I'm tying for two years now - still a newcomer and my main focus at the moment is to work on simple patterns and trying to do them as perfect as I can :yahoo: Cheers!

I am in my second tying year also. The most important thing I have learned, is to use materials sparsely. And there is no substitute for good quality hackles. Here are some Mosquito images I have collected, I hope they are of some use to you. Rich. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Houndog 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2010 Nicely tied That's a great dry fly for trout. My biggest brookie was from a mosquito fly, tied with moose hair (one light, one dark) for the body. I don't have any pictures of a mosquito fly, but I gave up a bit of blood for these pictures... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks a lot! Just tied my first attempt at a Mosquito pattern, it's a bit different to the standard patterns but may give you some more ideas. I call it 'Megamos'. Pattern Here Rich.
