Hook anatomy and hook types

TMC 700 #4This hook looks classy and classical with its heavy wire and Limerick bend. It's not bronzed like this type of hook usually is, but surface treated with a black layer that makes it very close to stainless like the Kamasan B840. It is also extremely sharp and seems to hold this sharpness for a long while. This is an excellent choice for salt water versions of classics such as Red Tag Palmer, but I have also used it for newer flies such as The Kluting and the Bjarke as seen on the bottom of the this page about eyes.

PeeMew Midge

In the vise, this pattern may not look exciting, but when wet, this fly takes on a whole new personality! It's a simple pattern for complex trout. Be sure to read Steve's "Tips for the Curious Fly Tier" which explains how this pattern came about and

Hoppers with Foam

I’ll warn you now; the hopper is my favorite pattern. It’s big, I can see it, it’s fun to cast and present it with a plop, I have fun tying them and the fish just adore the big, juicy, summer delight. It’s perfect for my less-than-perfect casting habits. The pattern presented in this article is non-typical in my cache of fly patterns, however. This one uses a glued-on, pre-shaped foam body. Hence, the thesis of this article.

Comparadone!

Comparaduns are one of the most versatile mayfly patterns in existence representing a low-riding mayfly to near perfection. However, many tiers shy this simple pattern due to the perceived complexity of tying the deer hair wings. Learn to master the technique with GFF partner Steve Schweitzer.

Better-Winged Olives

A recent tying binge left me with a few thoughts on how to tie a quicker and better blue-winged olive mayfly. The ideas aren't necessarily new, but they certainly are worth sharing.
