Working on the Midges

I have been tying midges from patterns I’ve found hoping they will produce some fish this winter season. I tied a dozen and a half midge larva and a half dozen cdc midge emergers (I think thats what they are, i.e. novice) in size 18. That makes 8/50 dozen flies …

Looking For Midge Patterns

Any advice or suggestions on size and color of midge patterns that work in the Minnesota/Wisconsin/Iowa area would be appreciated. I am going to spend sometime tying my winter season flies soon and would like to be one step ahead of the game before I hit the water. I read …

Pink Fire Fly

Liz took a photo of my pink fire fly for an assignment for her photography class. I thought I would share it. I love it.

Ross Mueller's Hare's Ear

I’ve been doing more tying and tied 4 dozen Hare’s Ear Nymph’s as tied by Ross Mueller. I would like to thank TightLines Fly Fishing Company for having Ross at their store and putting the video of Ross on Youtube.com. I tied four dozen in size 16 and 18. Anyone …

Caddis Emerger

Working with the materials I currently have I tied a dozen caddis emergers. These flies are meant to represent the stage when a caddis larva breaks free from its underwater shell and begins to take flight from the water. This should help me when I see caddis rising from the …

Cased Caddis

Goto a stream around here. Find a riffle and pick up a rock. You will see these small cone shaped shells dangling on the rocks. These are the cases for one variety of caddisfly. In an attempt to create something similar I used the basis from a recipe from charliesflybox.com. …

Fall in Full Swing

I managed to get sick and stayed home from work on the last day of the season. I watched from the couch as the sun went down on the last day of trout fishing. This was my first season and frankly I didn’t realize that I could have been fishing …

The Big One! 9/29/08

Decided to go and explore a new stream before the end of the season. When I arrived I must admit I was alittle discouraged by the size, often it was no more than three feet across. I decided rather than going for the safety of a stream I knew I …

9/28/08 8am-2pm

Cloudy day on the water today, I think the temp was only 68 at the high point in the morning. I chose to head south of 90 to see if I could find trout in a new spot before the season ends. I drove and enjoyed the morning drinking my …

Short but Sweet! 9/27/08

Arrived at water edge at 7:15. The sun had yet to crest over the bluff behind me. I watched as no wind created a very slow moving pond at one of my favorite spots. Fish were rising. I started with a larger terrestrial which in hindsight was a mistake thinking …
