Easy to tie smaller stonefly pattern with a thread body and single set of legs. Good dropper nymph. Good winter stone pattern as it’s easier to go smaller with.

Nice searching pattern and a quick tie. Can use lots of different things for the tail. I just use dubbing folded over and it floats well enough.

Simple little midge pattern. Quick to tie and fill your box. And they catch.

Very good nymph for rivers.

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.

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.

Awesome Chironomid pattern for the East Kootenays. It’s easy to tie lots and switch up the colors. The tinsel/UV makes a decent air bubble imitation.

Classic yellow and white marabout streamer

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.

Great BWO cripple for when the trout are turning down your normal offerings. Quick tie and super effective in spring and fall.
