Floating Mayfly Nymph

A floating CDC mayfly nymph that will fish as an emerger with the tail and abdomen under the surface, the thorax being held high with the CDC bubble wing case.

Egg Laying Caddis

One of my little deer hair patterns that is super easy to tie. All you need is a hot spot tag and a deer hair dubbing loop, for an effective pattern that floats high and dry all day long.

3M Minnow

A great little minnow pattern made from Marabou, Mylar & Mallard flank. It has worked well for sea run browns but should also be just as effective for browns and bows.

A quick little semi realistic caddis pattern with burnt feather wings, for those of you that like that little extra.

Mayfly Spinner

This Wally wing mayfly is a semi-realistic spinner, that is fun to tie for those of you that enjoy this type of pattern. Not only a good looking fly but also a great fishing fly!

Madam XXL

A simple tutorial for tying perfect bullet heads. This XXL variant of one of the great attractor flies, has accounted for at least 3 of my top 10 largest trout on dry fly.

Hot Spot Pheasant Tail

A quick and easy pheasant tail nymph with a UV hot spot attractor wing case. For those cold days grayling fishing.

Flashy Bugger

A real big fish fly. As the name suggests, a woolly bugger with that little extra flash to increase the attractor value.

Without doubt the most famous bonefish fly. This simple pattern with a crazy name is well worth tying if you are fishing the salt.

CDC Elk Hair

Don't let this quick and simple pattern deceive you, this is a great pattern that should have a place in every fly box.
