I like to keep a few blue flies on me when I'm out fishing for trout and panfish.

The Buckhorn Bully is a simple fly pattern and can be tied in any number of color combinations. Use your favorite jig hook for the fly pattern and play around with the color of the bead you use.

Thanks to Matt from Savage Flies for sharing the Smoky Mountain Stimulator Dry Fly pattern. You can find Matt here on Youtube at or visit his website

This is a simplified version of John Barr's jumbo John fly pattern I've recently tied for a client. The major difference is this version omits the flash and resin wingcase.

The Mop Fly, aka Dust Mop Fly or Whosit Fly is really simple but can catch a ton of trout, bass and panfish in a short period of time. The fly is incredibly customizable.

This is a great pattern to fish your favorite stillwater from April into November. I like to cast these over weed beds and close to shore reeds.

This little jig is a heavily weighted nymph pattern created by John Newbury. It features a nicely segmented body built with contrasting wire and a quick sinking tungsten bead head.

The Wombat is a steelhead fly built for movement and can be tailored in a number of ways to suit the angler.

A big thanks to Ralph from Saskatchewan for sending the Dollarama Glitter Thread to me to take a look at. The thread is a great value at 1.50 for the 8 different colored spools.

Jim's Smelt is a vibrant little bucktail that calls for 6 colors of hair plus some herl and flash to round out the wing.

John Kent has a knack for chironomid fly patterns that catch big trout in still waters. While I was researching the fly pattern, I found the John ties this in a couple of different ways.

This simple little perdigon nymph is great for smaller streams and rivers.

I'll be honest in that I really have no idea what to call this little scud, so we'll just dub it Solar Scud for the bright orange spot and use of Solarez resin.

The High Water Worm is a great choice to use when waters get a little colored up after a bit of rain. It is recommended to tie this one as a point fly in tandem with a heavier bead head nymph.

Lots of egg patterns tied on the live stream. I've added timestamps to patterns if you want to skip ahead.

In the rare times when I get a break from the vise, I like to grab a book from my fly fishing/tying library and read a few pages about the exploits of others who share the passion of the sport.

The Songo Smelt is a sweet little bucktail perfect for casting out in search of cruising landlocked salmon, brook trout and bass.

As far as flies for salmon go, this one isn't too tricky to tackle. The fly is designed by Barry Thornton and tied specifically for fishing Vancouver Island's Black Creek area.

I like to fish these early in the day and use a little bit of floatant to help the fly sit in the surface film. the splayed tails and wing help the fly stay in the zone longer.

The Tungsten Goldie is a trout fly pattern from Umpqua Fly Manager Brian Schmidt. The fly is heavily weighted with a tungsten bead and some lead wire.
