Sorry for the quality of the pic but this is my goto for the big ones in fishermans creek! I always have it on my vest when I'm struggling to match the hatch.

Great pattern for sure.....and that was the 1st book I bought when moving to Calgary to learn about AB fly fishing......was a big help.
I know it was a very controversial book.

Been trying to tie up a hopper pattern I found. Biggest issue has been deciding on the legs, started making them with pheasant tail legs, then read up on using heat shrink tubing for them and tried some of those. First picture is the pheasant tail legs, second is small heat shrink tubing, then third is after I decided to go up a size. Any tips/opinions are much appreciated!

Fish it during the giant stonefly Hatches and do well. Makes a nice Skid Bitch.

BeeGuy, I like to think of it as more of a prionus albertaicus

Nice ties John! I love streamers, and leeches are my favorite. What is the material used on green with red bead? I would like to tie a few.

Thanks for sharing!

Flieguy · #**236** 10-04-2013, 08:31 AM

Here's a popular bow river winter nymph that I added chartreuse wire to:
