Default At the bench tonight

Had some time to sit down and tie. Trying to stock up for spring/summer

figured I would share with everyone

This is a great dry pattern drifted along the edges of the foam in a creek or river. This can be frustrating at times to tie as the extended body is actually one feather. So it can be time consuming to find a feather with the right length and proportions. Then you have the task of trimming, dividing and tying it in. It gets wrecked pretty fast but fish love it



This is my go-to micro leech, I just ran out of these glass beads so have to hit up Michaels craft store next time im near one.


my hideaway, JUST cleaned it, so within an hour of tying it will be a disaster again lol


A great all around stonefly nymph pattern I love


Grayling, cutthroats and whitefish go nuts for this little nymph I made up one day

Noice some very nice patterns , that may fly look very tricky. Great pics the man cave ... needs some personality. Great bench all the same.
