Great looking trout food. Lots of excellent patterns there. Thanks for sharing. Curious about your caddis pupae. Do you use them for stillwater? How do you fish them?

Drift them along the bottom in rivers and streams has done wonders and fish them under a strike indicator on lakes and either a super slow retreive or the odd twitch has worked very well. Whitefish demolish them and trout and grayling seem to love them aswell.

I was fishing a river one day and you could see the bulls just sitting there, threw everything at them and not a thing. I decided to give it a shot as I just tied those little minnows up and first swing by them while giving it twitches they hammered it and I continued to catch them all day on that pattern

Forget your old job! You could make a living off of selling amazing flies like those. That is if your willing to share...

You are so talented! I love your flies. They are works of art. Mine don't look half as good.

As a guy who sold fishing tackle
And flies etc for 15 years I agree these are things of beauty . I know tying
Is labour intensive but these are certainly saleable . Especially
And I am sure they ride great .
By all means call them " TROUT BUGS, ".i would like to see a slide show ,I find
Opening photobucket a pain .

Any fly I share has caught fish as they are all flys I tie for my box.

Some are totally my own creations
