Great attractor pattern. Just a scruffy dirty bug. Hard to see in photo (wet fly) but the Krinkle flash rib gives it a super cool Underbody. Check out last photo in steps.

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

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

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

Smaller steelhead intruder. I find that I actually have better luck on downsized flies.

Size 14 (shown here) to 20. Olive mayfly emerger, Un-weighted. This is a great pattern to be fished just under surface or mid column. I personally fish it 12 to 18 inches off my dry fly, there's no weight added so you don't need a large dry fly to support these.

Heavy bead head nymph imitating a mayfly, small stonefly, or caddis. Attractor pattern with good movement.

Fall/winter steelhead pattern for PNW. Swing fly. High contrast big flash.

(Step 9 is at end of instruction at step 14, this step should happen after step 8)

Using synthetic peacock quill and the wispy feathers at the base a CDL to create emerger mayfly patterns.

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

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.

Swing fly for trout and steelhead. Miniature version of the original squidro.

A natural, stealthy mayfly emerger on a size 16 klinkhamer hook. Great for fooling picky or heavily pressured trout. I use this tied on 12 to 18 inches behind a more visible dry.
