Tying a Mayfly

[flygirrl]

Being as I am in Rocky and we have no decent place to go for any type of Fly Tying gear, books etc. it is getting :mad2:frustrating to alway have to go to Red Deer or Calgary.
Im woundering if any one has the pattern for the Mayfly spinner that they would be willing to post or to PM me. I have to get to B.P.S. and see if they have any books or could anyone recommend some books to me with the popular flies. I have the biginners book but it dosnt have a hell of a lot of the popular flies. I might just have to open my own Fly Fishing store here in Rocky and that would solve te prob. Thanx in advance. :wave:Oh and Wayne and Christine dont tell me to pick them off the water and use them it dont work.:lol::p

Here is a good site with most of the standard patterns with tying instructions. From the menu select the Callibaetis Spinner, adjust according to size and color of the naturals.

I did that with a dragonfly once, got a nice largemouth with it.

I will have a look in my stuff for you. I used to tie all my flies and have a good pattern book somewhere. Have not used for years. If I can get to the next meeting I can bring to show you if you need others....
