@dirtybogwater.bsky.socialA pattern you’ll find in more flyboxes in North America than perhaps any other - the caddis.
I’m never quite satisfied with the DHC I tie, but these are getting there. Foam is significantly (!) easier to manage, but deer hair is just unmatched!

@dirtybogwater.bsky.socialBees! Like other terrestrials, bees perform well in the High Sierra during the fall transition.
While often discussed, I rarely see them on the vise! I enjoyed reading up on the history of bee patterns and experimenting with some different materials.
@jakecollins.bsky.socialA 90-fly (mainly chironomid/midge pattern) box tied up as a custom order for a client. Quite an enjoyable way to pass a few evenings #fishing #flyfishing #troutfishing #flytying

@forefish19.bsky.socialBroke in my new Beulah Platinum 10'8" 3wt Euro rod with a Lamson Guru reel. Although I am new to Euro Nymphing, I loved this set up. Work horse flies of the day were the #18 tagged Walts Worm (point) and the #20 Perdigon (tag).

@dirtybogwater.bsky.socialEggs are a popular choice this time of year for targeting species like salmon and trout!
This is my first go at the Nuke Egg; I love how the added casing looks when wet 👌🏽
In the future I’ll try reversing the casing to hide my thread wraps.
@dirtybogwater.bsky.socialHopper season!
Hoppers are a lot of fun to tie, and can do a solid job imitating a variety of insects. I like to tie and fish these on the smaller side.
Foam helps them sit high on the water, though the Madsen’s Skunk can fish lower (like a Stimulator).

@dirtybogwater.bsky.socialWith the heat wave here in LA I’ve been tying flies like crazy! Here are a few I’ve tied for trout and bass here in CA and back in MI, both on the fly and with L/UL gear — I love throwing flies on light tackle.
I’ve included the recipe in their descriptions!
