Ugly Kelsey's Hope variant (also #6, they're all going to be #6)

that's a hook with a gape of about 6mm. Not a big fly but not super tiny, either #FlyTying

Getting to that time of the year. Now that my knee’s almost ready I’m some up. Soon the big rods will be out, flies will be swinging and steelhead will be steelheading.

Continuing with terrestrials: a whole mess of ants 🐜

Ants have become one of my go-to patterns when fishing for trout and panfish the last few years. Even when I’m bombing them out to the center of alpine lakes, they always draw bites. Especially #1!

Late night mousin’!

Mice are a blast to tie and fish. I tied these up after seeing a modified mini Master Splinter that caught my eye. Big guide fly energy! Super easy. Hoping to put them to good use next month in Yosemite!

A pattern you’ll find in more flyboxes in North America than perhaps any other - the caddis.

I’m never quite satisfied with the DHC I tie, but these are getting there. Foam is significantly (!) easier to manage, but deer hair is just unmatched!

Bees! Like other terrestrials, bees perform well in the High Sierra during the fall transition.

While often discussed, I rarely see them on the vise! I enjoyed reading up on the history of bee patterns and experimenting with some different materials.

I was an inexperienced tyer when I first met & took a class with him. We were in the same flytying club. His class was so intense, I had hand cramps by the end. If you want to find his fly patterns, a friend of his still maintains his website & sells his materials. He was an amazing & fun character.

A 90-fly (mainly chironomid/midge pattern) box tied up as a custom order for a client. Quite an enjoyable way to pass a few evenings #fishing #flyfishing #troutfishing #flytying

Broke in my new Beulah Platinum 10'8" 3wt Euro rod with a Lamson Guru reel. Although I am new to Euro Nymphing, I loved this set up. Work horse flies of the day were the #18 tagged Walts Worm (point) and the #20 Perdigon (tag).
