Nebc, nice flies dude, looks good and should catch something. wolfie, only one fly? Looks great and I would chuck that on the bow for sure.
bhurt Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Okay here is the other caddis larva that I chuck

jordo Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 There are some awesome ties in this thread, nice job guys. My latest are some stone-buggers. Had a lot of success on the Bow with them this year.
bhurt Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Jordo, I like it, can I get a dozen, hehehehehe. I diffently can see that fly beeing very productive on the bow.
Bigtoad Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 A glass-bead caddis larvae, boatman, backswimmer (I think I got the names right this time?), and a micro leech. Ice fishing is approaching and I wanted to try some flies that might work besides wire worms. I also tied the backswimmer with the hook upside down that I'm going to try through a hole when I can't swing a fly anymore. Cheers.
Wolfie Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 jordo holy.........super bug for sure!..........Wolfie
InvermereAngler Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Okay here is the other caddis larva that I chuck Bhurt, What type of dubbing are you using on these? Also what size???
bhurt Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Chartreuse Ice Dud and Brown UV Ice dub (note this looks like it is purpule) I also rib it with yellow wire. Sizes 14 and 16 is what I usally tie them in.
InvermereAngler Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Chartreuse Ice Dud and Brown UV Ice dub (note this looks like it is purpule) I also rib it with yellow wire. Sizes 14 and 16 is what I usally tie them in. I was wondering if it was purple... Thanks for the help.
bhurt Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Invermere, Take note of the porpotions of the fly, I like to tie my bodies roughly around 3/4 of the hook and the thorax, head, etc... is about 1/4 Not sure your level of tieing but one thing I have to keep on reminding myself alot of time is less is best, I can always add a little more dubing if needed. IN deep water I like to tie with a tungsted beed so it can drop fast and stay on the bottom as that is where the trout would most likely find the rest of the caddis larva.

Excellent Stone there Jordo. It is going to drive me nuts trying to figure how the segmented body was tied so I have to ask... Tried fooling with this but it never turned out like yours! LOL.
headscan Posted October 17, 2009 Author Posted October 17, 2009 Tied some more midge nymphs, four colours of copper johns, two colours of DNA clousers, and some quick leeches. All the nymphs are on scud hooks. I think they look better that way and the wider gape should make for better hook sets and fewer LDRs.

Had a lot of success on the Bow with them this year. LOVE the pattern, GREAT job. Do you have a step by Step for it? If not, how about a materials list. Rick
Rp3flyfisher Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 These are what I have been tying lately; Salmon Time!!!!!! Rick
headscan Posted October 17, 2009 Author Posted October 17, 2009 These are what I have been tying lately; Salmon Time!!!!!! Rick Really interesting. Hairwing patterns using synthetics instead of hair?
Tungsten Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 For a second there i thought you got those out of my box LOL.Nice ties. One thing i found with the red cronies is that sparce is better ,My skinny ones out fish the fat ones.
jordo Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 LOVE the pattern, GREAT job. Do you have a step by Step for it? If not, how about a materials list. Rick Thanks, for those that are interested the pattern was featured on Sport Fishing on the Fly a while back, they were using them on the Columbia and I figured it'd be gangbusters on the Bow. Tied up a bunch last spring and they have been deadly. I checked the SFOTF website and they have the recipe and tying instructions Here. I like mine with a Cone Head as it adds extra weight.
headscan Posted October 19, 2009 Author Posted October 19, 2009 One thing i found with the red cronies is that sparce is better ,My skinny ones out fish the fat ones. The ones on the right are a lot skinnier than the ones with the white beads. I've had roughly equal luck with both and found it depends on the fish's mood, phase of the moon, and alignment of the stars (in other words I have no clue why they take one over the other on different days).
maxwell Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 super thin chronnies all the way!!!!! larvae and pupae.. the real ones are skinny mo fo's on layer of thread at best for a 16 or smaller! micro beads too!!!!!! smales ones u can buy!
