I've been a little less inclined to fish in the cold this winter and have decided to spend more time tying and perhaps use up some of the materials piling up. My goal is to tie a dozen flies a day of those patterns that I use the most, work through them all and then start over.
So far I have tied up around 24 dozen, representing about the same number of my favorite patterns. I have inlcuded my list below. If you fish a "must have" pattern that is not on the list, I would be interested in tying up a some and giving them a try. Tell me what is missing! Nymphs: BHGRHE (18-12) GRHE (18-12) PT, Maribou PT (20-12) Steve's Fly (Caddis) Deep Sparkle Pupa Black Rubber Leg Stone (2) Disco Midge (Red, Black, White) Scud (Gray, Pink) (12,18) Prince Soft Hackle: PT Body and Brown Hen Partridge and Green Partridge and orange.
