April Flies From The Bench

Recommended Posts

My favorite jig nymph for the next couple of months. Pulls multi duty as small stonefly or green drake nymph. Who knows what trout think it is but it's been my top producing general searching guide fly for the past month.JigGreenDrake%2310.jpg?format=1000w

These are amazing. I can see how they would be a great searching pattern. I also looked at you site. Great ideas. Any chance you would be willing to cough up the receipt for this fly?

 

Thanks

 

Michael

My April flies have been for Redfish. Size 2 hooks. Large bead chain for shallow water. Based on Capt. Rick Grassett's, Deep Flats Bunny.

That's a pretty interesting one. Z-lon pulled back and melted to a point?

Spooled Antron yarn...Zelon works better for larger sizes. I am going to do a variation on that with Sparkle Emerger Yarn...

Only tied 2 patterns this month. Double Badger (of course) is one the other a version of Philip White's Active Mayfly. The original had a wing of summer duck, but the customer wanted deer hair dyed yellow.

Of course I've tied them more than once, these are just the ones from the back end of this week. Two dozen Double Badgers and six dozen Active Mayflies.

Now back to the vice to tie more of the same.

Cheers,

C.
