Today’s Tying Tuesday includes 4 patterns of differing intricacy, however here’s the important things: They are all really easy to connect, even the ones that do not look it. We kick things off with a cool Well balanced Leech variation from Matt Winkler of Umpqua, who strolls us through the actions to produced a white, fancy minnow replica that will fish terrific on the dead drift or under and sign. Next up, Brandon from Snake River Fly teaches us to connect a buggy scud/sowbug pattern that “ has actually been dang excellent on the Snake and southern tanks” of Idaho. It does not get a lot easier than Deborah Paskall’s attractor/egg replica, which she calls Deborah’s Lil Pink Blob. When absolutely nothing else is operating in winter season, attempt this ostentatious morsel. Lastly, John Genovesi shares a super-simple baitfish pattern that works on incorrect albacore, stripers, bonito, bluefish, mackerel, and even trout, when they’re feeding upon alewives.
