What's Everyone Tying?

Post by Lotech Joe » Sun Dec 14, 2008 1:40 pm

So far, since the arctic blast has hit the Spokane area, I've been tying up some Royal Coachman and Renegade flies. They both work well on the St. Joe and Marshall Lake. Just curious what patterns everyone else is tying. I've even tied up some Royal Renegades. That's a Renegade with a Golden Pheasant tippet tail and a red floss midsection.

Pretty small flies, and my camera has a lousy macro, but here they are;

I hope you can tell what they look like. They should work well enough for cutthroat.

Tieing chronies, damsels, and clousers will keep me busy for a while. I've probably got way more than I need already, but I always tie more. When I get my boxes full of these I'm going to tie up some English flies to see if they will work on this side of the pond. Buzzers, blobs, boobies, snatchers, daddies. I'll post pics of them when I get them tied.

WOW, what to tie.

Hey Joe, what floss do you use on your Royal whatevers? Does it turn almost black when it gets wet like mine does?

My floss stays red. Don't know what kind it is as I've thrown the wrapper away a couple of years ago. I did however, buy it at Sportsman's Warehouse. It's sold in the tight end of a cable tie if that helps.

I don't know......I don't plan what to tie most of the time but here is my list for this winter.

Chironomids in 4 colors and 3 sizes
Damsel Patterns in 2 colors and 2 patterns
Olive Willies
Buggers: several colors
Stayner Ducktails in 2 colors
Sheep Creek Specials
Mini buggers
Extended body Mayflies (on Umbrella hooks): These take a while!
Hank of Hair
Black and Brown gnats
Teeney Nymphs in 3 colors
Copper Johns

I will try a few new patterns from time to time as well.


Tight Lines!

i know i need to tie alot of flies to fill the boxes for spring time but i dont exactly have much of a good plan. all i know is i need to tie a ton of chronies, some zug bugs, and a bunch of bluegill flies. somewhere in there i will end up tying some non standard stillwater patterns like a pink fly of some sort based along the lines of a crappie jig.

Could someone please post a photo of or direct me to a description/photo of a pellet fly (I have read about them in the Rufus Woods report) and would like to tie some. Thanks!
