You can fill a row in a box in no time with these. Used to be one of my go-to dropper nymphs in southern Alberta.

Paul Davidson created this pattern. It's works brilliantly for wild browns and rainbows. Doesn't look much like anything but sometimes the best flies don't. Works well fished subsurface as well. Just a great pattern. I tie them in fiery brown, natural hare, olive, claret, black etc. Fiery brown probably the best colour

The classic fly

Great mayfly searching pattern. I like using different colors for the thorax mostly because I’m cheap. Parachute Adams in different colors.

👑 Royal Coachman 👑
A fly fit for a king — and hungry trout agree. First tied nearly two centuries ago, this flashy mix of peacock, red floss, and white wings is as timeless as it gets. Whether swung, drifted, or fished on the swing, the Royal Coachman still commands respect in rivers around the world.
🎣 A legend on the water. A classic in the vise. Always in the fly box.

The only scud pattern I’ve really fished, it’s worked for me in bigger rivers and lakes for trout. Easy to add weight to it too.

Mayfly Nymph.
One of the best nymph for river fishing.
This nymph must be heavy For more effect.
Jig hook any size.

Just thought I would share these super cool extended body mayfly hooks I ordered recently. Very excited to tie on these! Here is the link (not affiliated) https://spritefishing.com/products/partridge-heritage-k10-yorkshire-fly-body-hooks
I added a feature for saving areas to make locations easier to add to future patterns. It was a bit tedious needing to draw polygon(s) each time, especially if detailed or there is more than one. When you open the "Where I've fished it" section in the pattern editor, you'll now see a section under the map for your saved areas. Click on "Save current" to save any areas on the map. Give your area a name and click the checkmark. You'll then see your new area appear at the bottom. These will always be available for future use on other patterns. You can view them, load them and delete them from the 3 dots menu on the right. Let me know if you have trouble :) Chris

Heya, just added this forum category to organize any tech support type issues! If you find a bug or something not working right, a new feature or improvement, or just any question related to the website post them here! Ill get back ASAP.
I’ve clicked around a bit and the site looks good. Let me know how I can help. I’ll start uploading some patterns as the weeks go on.
Fly boxes are live! Fun way to organize your and other's patterns. Going to add more features like map, species, etc. soon. Let me know any ideas or issues!

Woohoo it’s live! This spring I’ve been working on Hackle and Threads. It’s a web application for uploading and searching for fly patterns. After a tying hiatus for a couple years, I really wished I had taken some notes on my old patterns. Being a software developer, I decided to make it! You can add photos and videos, basic info like a description. You can also attach: -location polygons which can cover as generic or specific an area you want, -species caught, -fly segments and their materials -step by step recipes It would be really cool to have a place that is more geared towards flies and fly fishing than google or YouTube. For example, if you are planning a trip to a new area, you can research ahead of time what patterns people fish there and tie some of your own. Or browse for ideas from other regions or species to apply to your home waters. It’s still early days but I’d love to hear any feedback - bugs, cool features, anything! So far it’s mostly just my own posts here for western Canada. Would love to see some flies from other areas too. Cheers, Chris
