With fall right around the corner, today’s Tying Tuesday concentrates on patterns that you can go out and utilize today. From a jigged trout banner, to a lethal easy mayfly pattern, to a fascinating soft hackle, the only thing we’re missing out on is an excellent nymph.
Leading off today is Egan’s Poacher, a fantastic little jigged trout streamer, connected by Charlie Craven. Jigged trout banners are amongst my preferred flies to utilize, however they get less love than they should have. I believe they’re even simpler than basic banners to fish from coast, and from a drift boat, these flies are fatal. I extremely suggest connecting some up for fall fishing.
Up next is a fascinating mayfly pattern that utilizes simply 2 products. The folks at Savage Flies call this the Mark One Mod No, since it’s one of the most standard mayfly pattern out there. By altering the size and color, you can mimic a wide array of mayflies.
Completing today’s group of videos is a one-feather soft hackle fly that appears like it’ll fish, particularly throughout the fall blue-wing hatches out West. I do not fish soft hackles almost as much as I should, so I may connect a few of these up and head to river real quickly.
