Hermes, as usual, pretty much only likes to be nearby when I'm tying flies. Surprisingly, he's never showed interest in the feathers or any other materials.

DarrellP 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2021 Sessions, is the rainbow warrior color for rainbow trout? Sorry, couldn't resist. Nice nymph. Toothy, how big is that fly? It looks like it would make a good Hex fly in larger sizes. We have one good Hex hatch in the area that I know of. It is worth the trip up there and the trip home in the dark!

Hey @DarrellP, This one is a size 14 but it can be tied in any size and color you like to imitate any mayfly species. Wish I had a Hex hatch here in CT!

Looks like a midge pattern tied in the reverse - cant tell for sure if it's a wire/tube body and herl/dubbed fur head for the specific name of the pattern. By the lower picture it looks like it's in the top row right and by the size of you thumb looks like it's an 18-22 hook so that also matches a midge size.

Sandan 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2021 @chugbug27 was wondering about thread. So I Google Semperfli to get some info on that 18/0 Spyder thread. Surprise, I ordered some. Anyhow while on the site there's a tab named Inspire Me. It's amazing, chock full of innovative patterns, some oldies but goodies and variations. For @flytire, there's even a Chadwicks 447 sub. I ordered some of that too. Where I'm going is I saw this pattern, a slip wing jingler. This is my attempt Hook: size 14 dry Thread: Sheer 14/0 olive Tail: med Pardo CDL Body: gray olive superfine Thorax: BWO superfine Hackle 1: Whiting dark barred ginger Hackle 2: Hun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
