Hi guys, Got some new flies for the upcoming season. Hopefully all this darn snow will leave soon, just not to fast don't want any flooding. Any way I am hoping this flies will produce. First off is a hot spot soft hackle pheasant looks pretty good for the Whiteshell river and Goldeyes on the Red. Next is a Caddis pattern however, it could pass for a wet fly. Soft hackle shiner imitation looks like a good Red pattern. Rainbow Warrior with a green thorax. Soft hackle Caddis Larva. Clouser Swmming nymph, also tied with small bead chain eyes is a killer damsel fly larva pattern. Fish Hair Clouser minnow has a nice shinny realistic water action. Small little Rock Bass fly. Variation of the Rock bass fly. And lastly another Fish Hair streamer. Most of these fly have some sort of similarities to other productive fly I fished before so I am betting these will be decent flies. And hopefully some of them will earn names.

Yeah I like that one to it is a quick easy tie. I also tied it in red, doesn't really imitate much I guess it would kind of imitate a small worm or chironomid. If you want I'll post the the recipe for it and any others.

I am running low on material for the Clouser Swimming nymph but here is a great tutorial As for the Caddis Larva here is the recipe and a step by step Hook: size 8 Mustad curved Caddis Thread: 8/0 uni light cahill (brown is better though) body: Green floss Tail: white antron dubbing Rib: Peacock herl Legs: Soft hackle Step 1) wrap your thread fairly far down the shank of the hook Step 2) Pull some antron dubbing fibers out and straighten them out then fold them over and tie them down Step 3) secure in some floss as well as a piece of peacock herl Step 4) wrap the floss up the shank leaving some space behind the eye. Be sure to give the body a nice taper. Step 5) wrap the peacock herl up the shank creating ribbing I like to add two wraps of peacock herl per section. Gives it a fuller look. Step 6) add your favourite soft hackle feather this particular one came from the back of a Robin. Dub over the feather you just tied in with black hares ear dubbing Step 7) now wrap the soft hackle around the eye of the hook. Whip finish and you have a nice Caddis pattern.
