This one is large and brass. Fly drops like a stone and gains depth without a sink tip on the swing.

Fish in question that took the Unforgiven

I like to just throw stuff on a hook when tying steelhead flies but sometimes I get lucky and a pattern emerges. When it has proven itself in battle, I sometimes stick a name on it. This little concoction has gotten me 12 grabs. That warrants a name in my book.

Awesome As Always David!

A quick and easy single egg tutorial that was requested on my site. No bottom on this one but the fish don't seem to mind http://www.theanglersnet.com/Fly-Fishing-V...n=6&VID=119

Looks like an alaska fly we called the salmon flee. Works good

Those are a treat to the eyes David, Great flies as always!

1st time tying realistics in a while, Here is an attempt at a stone

thanks, everybody has been very helpful! pm'd and public!

they are all out....all of them.

My buddy came home from BC with flies tied on Loop Bottle Tubes. Now they are imposible to find but are great to use for swinging. Anybody know where to get them? Thanks

The upper is open, the lower is the one closed until October 15

The zonker strip makes the fly have movement even with the slightest of currents. Hook: Alec Jackson Hook Wing: Zonker Strip Dubbing: Angora Collar: Teal

catching a head on that would be like a dream, thanks

I have found blood quill packs to have been either really good (every 4th feather good) or really bad (Only 10 good feathers in the pack) so you have to hunt through each pack in the store to get a really good one. I have found the best most consistant marabou from the longer marabou feathers. You have to strip 3/4 of the feather off and just use the tips to get the whispies but they seem to be longer than blood quills. Select the marabou carefully, if it looks clumped together or has a "Damp" look to it, use it for bugger tails. It must look dry and whispy.

Frank, I use a pentax optio w20 point and shoot with manual focus and a tripod in front of my chest

http://www.theanglersnet.com/Fly-Fishing-V...n=6&VID=101 A generic spey fly that produces well on the Great Lake Tributaries. You can vary the colorations to produce the desired effects

Sweet stuff!

Just started tying for the upcoming season and started with the standard Egg Sucking Leech. http://www.theanglersnet.com/Fly-Fishing-V...n=6&VID=100 More to come as I need the flies
