Well I joined the forum back in 2011 however did not say too much....."sometimes things are best left unsaid" I think a wise man once said. Our trout season has been closed for almost 3 months and we only have 128 days until the opener in 2015! I guess I had best fill in my time doing something, already been busy at the bench filling 2015 orders and refilling my own boxes. Go easy on me but GO HABS GO!! Heart breaker last night but c'mon you can't win them all! Anyway I've probably already said too much or perhaps just enough to get me into trouble with the fans of the B....Br....Bbbbbrrru.....ah geez cannot even get the word out of the keyboard tonight!

I think the answers as noted above are indeed correct, generically speaking. The thing to keep in mind is that each fly no matter what the pattern has the opportunity to be improved upon for each situation. For example an Adams fly fished in low water which moves slowly could afford sparse materials whereas the same fly tied for use in a deep fast moving stream could stand a few more wraps....color variances, wing size, tail size are all open to manipulation depending on the circumstance. Here's a few pics of some flies I have tied and developed to meet my own situation where I fish here in New Brunswick Canada. Little Brown Mayfly Dark Quill Adams One of my Favourites I call the Whiting's Dun....Coq De Leon hen wings, Coq De Leon Cock neck tail, Whiting Dry Fly hackle, sorry Whiting the only material not Whiting is the hand stripped peacock hearl body....oh and the thread is Lagartun's 95 D in Iron Grey Experiment, try out the basic pattern and do your homework on the actual hatch you are trying to imitate, in the stream you are fishing. PS - for any photography buffs wondering, took these with my Pentax KR, 200MM ED lens, f/8, 1/5 sec, ISO 200 no flash just a light at my tying desk, camera fixed on a tripod, with a grey cardstock paper background....I'm just an Amateur trying to find my way....both in fly tying and photography.
