Simple thread body BWO, size 18-22. Proportions are important.

Egg laying Caddis pattern. Using cdc and deer helps it float all day. Add small amount of floatant to the deer hair wing.

Video in links is of very similar pattern with poly yarn as egg sac.

Size 16 BWO. No flash for picky fish. Use CDL rachis for segmented body. Patterns like this crush it in the spring and fall in the rivers. For me there's nothing like a 20 inch trout on a size 20 dry.

Flashy clouser! I’ve fished this for salmon, trout and bass, and it has consistently produced fish. Easy to tie and do different colour combos. Light colour on the bottom, darker on top.

✨ Prince Nymph ✨

A true royal in the world of trout flies 👑🐟. The Prince Nymph is a classic attractor pattern, known for its striking contrast of white goose biots, peacock herl body, and gold ribbing. Its bead head gives it just the right weight to get down into the strike zone quickly.

What makes it special?

It doesn’t perfectly imitate one insect — instead, it mimics many: stonefly nymphs, caddis pupae, and even mayfly nymphs. This versatility makes it a year-round confidence fly that fish can’t resist.

🎣 Pro Tip: Try different sizes depending on water conditions. Smaller sizes work well for finicky trout in clear water, while larger versions shine in faster, murkier runs.

A great pattern that's caught me a lot of fish during mayfly and olive hatches. Size and colour can be varied. Olive also works well.

This nymph is quite effective not only for salmonid species.

Any Mayfly Nymph Colour, yellow, green, brown ect...

Great Dry Fly

You can use any colour CDC.

Works well as a general purpose attractor type nymph. Sinks well and is my favourite to use as a dropper nymph in southern Alberta. Tricky when you go smaller.

Low and clear water pattern. Lightweight and doesn't snag often, even on sink tip lines.

This is really killer nymph.

Always catches fish.

One of the best nymph for me.
