SilverDoctor Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Mayfly Genus Baetis (Blue-Winged Olives) hatch throughout the year, in the spring and fall thy do tend to be smaller than in the early spring and fall. There are in fact dozens of different types in our province. I have often chased pods of Rainbows and browns during these hatch cycles. You also have to look at stages of nymphs that are pre-emergers for a complete cross section in your box. Often anglers look for that one magic fly that works all year instead of looking at what is on the water at different times of year and differnt nymphal stages(an insect screen can be your best friend to determine size and color). Here are a few that work for me throughout the year. Some are original others specific to well know patterns. I tend to bend my patterns to what I see on the water. Red Headed Step Child mentioned here in #16 and #18 My Doc's BWO (personal favorite) in Size #20 Suspended BWO Nymph #18 - #20. The large tail is pre-shuck Bars Emerger is a good one fished in a Leisenring Lift manner. Tie it in Green and brown. Doc's Gilled Baetis Nymph Hope this helps a bit in chasing the BWO hatches. keep up your social distancing and keep safe and may wee all meet at some time on sparkling waters. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattpreat Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I've been tying some spinners too lately, I don't know why I haven't tried them earlier. Next I'll try a few with that foam back, looks good 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrighter Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Tying a bunch if my favorite today - "light" Elk Hair Caddis. I leave out the wire and simply wrap the hackle over the dubbing. With size 10, 12, 14, i find the hackle is plenty strong on its own and I've don't think it has ever come apart on me. As a result you get the same sectioned body look and no wire to add weight. I usually tie this with 3/0 thread so I can really synch down on the thick elk bull body hair and get lots of flare. I find this version very good at staying up in all water types and It stays afloat nicely with a size 16 or 18 dropper as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDoctor Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Blue Wing Olive in size #20. I like these little guys on a wide gap hook. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowLurker Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Holsinger's Green Wire Caddis, Size 14. This one's a real hit fished deep! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowLurker Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Orange Scud, Size 16. I've been experimenting with different leg materials, but Ostrich Herl seems to do the trick. Really loving these Knapek hooks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowLurker Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I guess I could call this a Blue-Winged something, but it's more like a Gray-Winged Blue! Size 18. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowLurker Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 This is my first attempt at a Parachute Adams, and I feel it turned out pretty well. Normally I take macro photos with an SLR, but I'm missing my card reader. Next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverDoctor Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I love tying Soft Hackles, gets you concentrated on the body more. Soft Hackle here is actually grey but a bit of yellow marker makes the color tick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowLurker Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 This is called a West Fork Nymph, but I think it could pass for a wet-style Stimulator. Fun one in size 10! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
