  • Flytying - Floating Menace

    When trout are repeatedly rising for flies, My "Floating Menace" is the pattern to try.

  • Fly tying - Fluttering Mayfly

    This is the "fluttering" type of Mayfly. It is tied just contrary to a conventional fly; that is, the head of the fly starts at the rear of the hook instead of at the front of the hook. Tying a fly in this manner gives it a fluttering erratic action when slowly retrieved through the water. ... FISH-ON!
