Today’s Tying Tuesday is trout focused, however this is likewise the time of year that trout fishing truly decreases, and much of us are investing hours at the vise in preparation for next season. You’ll discover a terrific stonefly dry in this week’s collection of tutorials, in addition to a hex pattern, and a sculpin that I believe looks fatal.
Yes, it’s winter season, however it’s never ever prematurely to begin connecting for next season. The folks at Fly Fish Food concur, considering that they simply launched this brand-new Foam Queen stonefly replica made type a totally brand-new kind of foam. It’s from MFC and this High Increase Foam can be found in lots of sizes and colors, however it’s allegedly more resilient than any other foam on the marketplace. Regardless, this is a terrific stonefly pattern, and it’s not too tough to connect, either.
Up next is Davie McPhail’s take on the Hexagenia Limbata, among the world’s biggest mayflies. This pattern most likely isn’t for the faint of heart, however it’s tough to picture a much better match for those huge ol’ bugs. Shoot, a smaller sized variation may even work well for Green Drake hatches, too.
Lastly, we have the Micro Jig Sculpin from Spirit Fly on YouTube, a channel I do not believe we have actually included before. I enjoy fishing sculpin patterns this time of year on tailwaters, and this appears like a great tie.
