We're floating from Balls Eddy to Buckingham on Saturday. Lightenup says you can't come with us; something about your lousy backcast? You'll have to ask him.

Here's a great CDC caddis pattern that in the colors used here, works great on the Bighorn River from late July into September. Change the colors of the body and wing, and you can imitate any caddis you might come across on any river. Yes, I tied this one like the locals do, with 6/0 black...

Here's a pic of this large caddis - #8-10. They come off at dusk into the night. Fish a big, brown caddis pupa or low floating dry after the sulphurs have diminished. It's a Ptilostomis sp. for you bug nerds....

WBDluver has sent me dozens of PM's today asking for a tying video. The guilt he has over dissing The Squirminator and I has him trembling in a corner of his local library, where he hangs out looking to pick up chicks....something about girls with glasses have really nice....... He even...

Here's a great pattern that originated out in MT, but that I've found works well here in the Northeast. It's very easy to tie and can be also tied using red, black or olive thread.

Here's another tying video of a simple but effective large mayfly emerger I made with Tim Flagler of Tightline Productions. I found this pattern in the jaws of a brown I caught many years ago on the main stem, and since then I've tied many to imitate all the big drakes that hatch near dusk on...

Here's a great fly pattern that was designed to imitate caddis, but is also effective during mayfly emergences - i.e. tied in yellow size #16 it works quite well for sulphurs. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/p69Tayjmsw8" frameborder="0"...

Joeypm, here it is. Black thread, black dubbing and grizzly hackle clipped on the bottom. Cake. :fish:

Here's a very good midge pattern you may want to try when the fish are sipping little stuff off the surface this winter, or anytime of the year really, in sizes #16-24. <iframe src="//player.vimeo.com/video/112198438?portrait=0&color=ffffff" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0"...

Did you ever wonder what Beetle would like with hair and glasses?

Since everyone is surely missing the fine fly tying videos produced by the Beetle, here's one to ease the pain. The smoke detector had a fresh battery, sorry to disappoint. <iframe src="//player.vimeo.com/video/94194009?portrait=0&color=ffffff" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0"...

I know you all may be disappointed, but this thread is about fly tying. How to tie my Cinder Worm pattern for stripers. It's a real simple pattern and it floats like a cork, and works quite well when the cinder worms "hatch" in April and May. The body is formed by putting a lot of twist in...

As promised, here's the video on how to strip and color peacock quills..... <iframe width="500" height="281" src="//player.vimeo.com/video/87579398?portrait=0&color=ffffff" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" webkitallowfullscreen="" mozallowfullscreen=""></iframe>

Here's our latest tying video, it's a tungsten head quill nymph that my friend Doug Freemann uses with great success. Doug is a member of the US Youth Fly Fishing Team, and he typically fishes this fly in tandem with another, using Euro-nymphing techniques. I have fished it with good success...

After the video "Damsels in Distress" came out last week, we were asked to do a tying video of how to tie a Damselfly dry. Here's the video we made with Tightline Productions. <iframe width="500" height="281" src="//player.vimeo.com/video/85852925?portrait=0&color=ffffff" frameBorder="0"...

Here's another LAV for your viewing pleasure. This simple midge adult was designed by Craig Mathew's and works great when trout are surface feeding on midges or even small mayflies. <iframe src="//player.vimeo.com/video/83038620? Watch this..........

Here's a great fly that works well for trout sipping in little BWO's or midges that's easy to tie. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/R7ghhpkRCUk?list=UUIdIkp_uBiYEw-Pb4-BDBjw" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>]
