flyfishfairwx Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 Got to tie at the Calgary Boat and Sportsman show, but gave all the PineSquirrelCheaters to the Hook & Hackle Club Fly bank, good cause and it pays to start off the year with good Karma. Quote

SilverDoctor Posted February 21, 2018 Author Posted February 21, 2018 A few new Caddis designs in #14. Foam Body for a bit more flotation and no Hackle. Call em Doc's Yellow Caddis, Doc's Tan Caddis & Doc's Sparkle Caddis. Should be interesting to try these patterns out this year and see if the Trout like em. . 1 Quote

RossMurphy Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 My first try at a klinkhammer. A little fatter than it should be but then again so am I. 3 Quote
pokerfish Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 I have had more hits with a sparser parachute hackle. been trying to get by with max of 3 turns. but it feels so easy to put 5, or maybe 6 turns in. I am susceptible to the more is better trap. My unconfirmed suspicion is that it hangs lower in the film. I'll be sticking with that for the time being. The Klink seems to look better with a thin tight body (not unique in my view, but thats off topic) but I havent noticed any increase in hits with the tapered quill type bodies. And since the dubbing is easier, I tend to go that way. Where I fish, yours will catch. Quote
Dangus Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 you sure it’s just not spacing between the wraps? Looks like maybe 4 wraps to me. You Can also condense things by splitting the post in two and pulling downwards. I wouldn’t worry about how fat it is. That body would pass as an emergent brown drake, Since they’re fairly big bug and can be light yellow like that. Quote
RossMurphy Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Thanks for the feedback. What sizes do you guys usually shoot for with your Klinkhammers? The thing that throws me off is the Daiich designated klinkhammer hooks are so much longer than regular curved body hooks. Such that a #16 klinkhammer is easily a size 12 on a regular curved hook.

The last few years I have been tying on 2xl nymph hooks, I put a bend about 1/3 from the eye, most are 12 to 18, and I usually fish the 14 and 16. This pic is a bit closer to 1/4 from the eye, but you get the idea. I put the para post right at the bend. Quote Quote

So are you just tying a general pattern or trying to match something specific with your sizes? Quote
pokerfish Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 mostly general pattern. My skill level is not so sophisticated that I tie to match anything other than a type. I also fish a lot of small water, and cutties are opportunistic feeders. bigger waters, I look for stupid fish. Quote
jgib01 Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 First attempt at a body with turkey... I kinda dig this look, and it is pretty simple fly to tie. Hardest part for me remains getting goose biots to do what I want them to. 3 Quote
