This light nymph is made for sight fishing in crystal clear waters. She's verry effective in the borders. She also can be used in rivers for trouts and graylings but i'm using it in lakes because unfortunately i don't have crystal clear river in my country (Belgium).

My favourite leech pattern for hanging under an indicator or dropper in rivers and lakes. You can substitute the goat dubbing for other coarse hairs.

Size 8 October caddis. Great for when those big orange caddis start bumbling around camp.

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

Great beach casting fly as the chain bead eyes will take a beating off the rocks. It also whistles as it's zipping past your head

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

Caught my first steelhead on this pattern. It works for a lot of different species and conditions. Woolly bugger with an egg 👍

🪶✨ The Royal Wulff — bold, buoyant, and built to stand out. A true classic that dances high on the water and tempts trout like no other. 🐟🎣

Super floaty caddis pattern. I like skating it after sunset when the hatch is thick.

For my striper guys, fall is kicking off and the striped bass run is just getting started on the east coast. Fishing at night comes with many advantages, big fish move closer to shore, and sparse wiggly flies offer an enticing presentation under the moonlight to fish looking up. I fish this primarily in inlets with a combination of swinging and stripping techniques. You can also fish this in the surf with a strong left/right current. For inlets depending on the depth and current speed I recommend a sink tip or polyleader.

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
