2010 Best Fly

[flyfishy]

Let's show off 2010's best flies. This contest has nothing to do with Fly Fish Calary !

 

South Bow said he would sponsor a fly box with hand tied flys for the 2010 best fly contest.( Flyfishy is purchasing the box )

 

Draw will be held at the 2011 fly fishing expo in Calgary at Spruce Meadows.

 

Just want to give a shout out to the crew at SouthBow Fly & Tackle for all their help in the 2010 best fly contest

Hey flyfishy,

 

Good topic but it would probably attract more attention in the "General fishing discussion" section.

 

Cheers

I picked this forum because the trout are more educated then ever ,because of fishing pressure .

OK. Late last winter, using experimental salmon egg patters on the S. Thompson River, E. of Kamloops:

 

 

After stillwater ice-off in the Cariboo, I went with "old faithful":

 

 

As the productive stillwaters warmed and chironomids began to emerge:

 

 

then during early June, the caddis emergers were pretty good:

 

 

and this fall, in late September, the waterboatmen dropped while I was actually on the damn water !!

Nice flies Jack....Love that Boatman....Here is a boatman I created this Fall for still water Brookies....I call it the "Pumpkin Back"....Worked Well....Tried it at Bullshead, and they wouldn't even touch it....I got the Orange glass bead Idea from tallieho....Picked them up at Michaels.....

 

Cheers...Jeff..

 

 

 

[jack]

Hi Jeff!

What you can't see in that boatman is the foam wrapped on the hook shank that is then over-wrapped with the crystal chenille. That pattern is actually a "dry fly" in that it stays right on the surface, right in the surface film, creating a small, sub-surface wake, works very well as an attractant.

[flyfishy]

Thanks Jack. I can only accept two flys per person for the contest.

[beedhead]

Jack, That Chronie is cool as well, sweet tie...Goin to try to tie some up.....Prob work well at BH. This coming spring....Thanx for sharing....Be nice to see some more flies on this thread..

 

Cheers....Jeff..

Ok, so here are my two favorites for the Bow this year. Both are a little worse for wear for obvious reasons.

 

First one is a stonefly imitation that worked extremely well even into August on some picky fish.

 

 

The second is a take on a san-juan worm but tied with sued. Super easy but also super effective as a dropper under the previously mentioned stonefly imitation.

 

 

Cheers
