Guest Report post Posted September 14, 2010 Don and I have been working on this for the past several months and I am excited to finally be able to unveil this to the public. The entire Ray Bergman Collection featuring flies tied by Don Bastian will be exclusively showcased on the Hatches website. My hope is to release ten new patterns each week. I want to personally thank Don for taking on and agreeing to this project and once all of the flies are unveiled I think it is going to be something spectacular. One unique feature of this project is the links within the material list. For example the phrase "Gold Tinsel" will be a link that directs you to a page with all of the other patterns in the collection that also incorporate gold tinsel. Don's Intro This photographic collection of traditional wet fly patterns, recipes, and notes, when completed, will contain four-hundred eighty-three flies selected from Ray Bergman’s books. This number was determined by including all the illustrated wet fly patterns from Trout in the first edition and the new wet flies on Plate No. 16 from the second edition. Additional patterns not represented in Trout were chosen from Just Fishing and With Fly, Plug, and Bait to round out this ‘Bergman Collection’ of wet flies. A few wet fly patterns from Trout appearing in the other two books containing significant recipe variations are included here as well. read the entire intro The Flies 1) Abbey http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...llection-abbey/ 2) Academy http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...ection-academy/ 3) Adder http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...llection-adder/ 4) Adirondack http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...ion-adirondack/ 5) Admiral http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...ection-admiral/ 6) Alder http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...llection-alder/ 7) Alexandra http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...tion-alexandra/ 8) Allerton http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...ction-allerton/ 9) Apple Green http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...le-green/\ 10) Artful Dodger http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...-artful-dodger/ 11) Arthur Hoyt http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...-11arthur-hoyt/ 12) Babcock http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...ion-12-babcock/ 13) Baldwin http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...ion-13-baldwin/ 14) Barrington http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...-14-barrington/ 15) Beamer http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...tion-15-beamer/ 16) Beamis Stream http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...6beamis-stream/ 17) Beatrice http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...ion-17beatrice/ 18) Beauty http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...tion-18-beauty/ 19) Bee http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...lection-19-bee/ 20) Beeman http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...tion-20-beeman/ 21) Belgrade http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...on-21-belgrade/ 22) Big Meadow http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...n-22big-meadow/ 23) Bishop http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...ctin-23-bishop/ 24) Bisset http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...ction-24bisset/ 25) Black Dose http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...ion-black-dose/ 26) Black Gnat http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...-26-black-gnat/ 27) Black Gnat Silver http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...ck-gnat-silver/ 28) Black June http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...-28-black-june/ 29) Black Moose http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...29-black-moose/ 30) Black Palmer Red Tag http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...palmer-red-tag/ 31) Black Prince http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...31black-prince/ 32) Black Quill http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...-32black-quill/ 33) Blockhouse http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...n-33blockhouse/ 34) Blue Blow http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...on-34blue-blow/ 35) Blue Bottle http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...-35blue-bottle/ 36) Blue Dun http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...ion-36blue-dun/ 37) Blue Jay http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...ion-37blue-jay/ 38) Blue Professor http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...blue-professor/ 39) Blue Quill http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...n-39blue-quill/ 40) Bob Lawrence http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...40bob-lawrence/ 41) Bog Pond http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...ion-41bog-pond/ 42) Bostwick http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...ion-42bostwick/ 43) Bonnie View http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...-43bonnie-view/ 44) Bootes Black http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...44bootes-black/ 45) Bottle Imp http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...n-45bottle-imp/ 46) Bouncer http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...tion-46bouncer/ 47) Brandreth http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...on-47brandreth/ 48) Bright Fox http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...n-48bright-fox/ 49) Brown Hen http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...on-49brown-hen/ 50) Brown Mallard http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...0brown-mallard/ 51) Brown Sedge http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...-51brown-sedge/ 52) Brown Turkey http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...52brown-turkey/ 53) Brunton’s Fancy http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...bruntons-fancy/ 54) Bunting http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...tion-54bunting/ 55) Butcher http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...tion-55butcher/ 56) Cahill http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...ction-56cahill/ 57) Calder http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...ction-57calder/ 58) Caldwell http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...ion-58caldwell/ 59) Canada http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...ction-59canada/ 60) Caperer http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...tion-60caperer/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John F 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2010 Incredible! I can't wait to see the entire set. That was an unbelievable amount of work and you have no idea how much it is appreciated. "Thanks guys" just doesn't seem to cut it. Thank you John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lykos33 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2010 I agree with John, "Thanks" doesn't seem like enough. I hear this name all the time and know of a few books of his, unfortunately they are not available at my library and purchasing is out of the question at this juncture. I guess a big heartfelt "Thank You" is the best I can offer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hotburrito03 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2010 Thanks Wil & Don!! Ray Bergman's Trout is a fantastic book! I've gotten a lot of information and technique just from reading the book. I've been a forum member since 2005 and never had much time to post anything but I think this is a great forum. Sorry it took me so long. :wallbash: Thanks again Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
