Another session stocking up on heavy nymphs, to add to the previously tied glo-bugs and squirmies. Can be bought as fly packs now on my store. Bit of fun trying to figure out best way of tying those double bead stonies with added lead, how to feed the rubber legs and tie them in between the dubbing.
Spent a little bit of time stocking up on winter flies for the online store and my own fly box. Some of the patterns that can be successfully used during spawn run if you’re into it as well. Upavon Atomic egg chenille is a breeze to work with and gives some incredible results especially when

Long winter nights mean more time to get your fly gear organized and top up your boxes with go-to patterns. Glass of whiskey goes hand in hand with these tying sessions too. This time I tied up some bright bead nymphs, glo-bugs and some squirmies which hopefully should trigger those spawners I’m
Well, when your city goes into a full lodckdown during pandemic it means one thing – an excessive number of hours at the flytying vise. I have never thought this kind of situation could be real and that it only happens in movies. But instead of complaining about getting bored or not being able
