Yes, that is Peccary Hair.

I might have already posted a couple of these...just some random stuff from the past couple weeks.

Yeah, I see that with Hoppers a lot. No, I don't think so though. They were splash rising like 6" to a foot away from the fly. And like I said there weren't a whole lot of adults around that day so i dont think they were eating a real one that distance away. Maybe they were still wary, thinking...

Got out to fish the other day. Fishing was a little slow through the whole day. We had about 15 total (dry fly) eats, but only 3 to hand. Many of the fish weren't committing fully, sometimes just splashing at the fly. We only saw 3 adults all day. Anyways, weather looks good for the rest of...

My buddy Brett (Wedeking) designed this fly. I am fishing with him in 2 Fridays. Very much looking forward to that trip. Cool to see you tie one of his up!

I 2nd the Unsinkabeetle. This thing has really worked well for me.

Unreal dude! If I had that on the end of my line, I would be confident with every swing. Beautiful tie man.

I have a couple Mahogany Dun patterns I've come up with that work well. We have a good fall hatch of them on my local. Last year was one of the best I've seen. Fish up eating in every likely spot, and they had no problem mowing down a little quill body pattern of mine: But...I like to tinker...

That is Whiting Brahma Hen Cape dyed Medium Dun. 2 feathers from the top of the cape (wide webby feathers that are mottled instead of badger). I tied them in convex, facing away from each other. I was also tying some dry flies using a dry fly saddle that was grizzly dyed medium dun. I found a...

Dis you out them in a clip and then insert them into the loop? I've had the same problem with Whiting Brahma Hen Saddles. The colors and mottling on those are my favorite, but when I put them in the clip and insert them into a split thread I end up with fibers sticking togethor, and more than...

I tied something similar the other day! Great minds...!

I've caught so many bones on these. Nice Squimps!!!

Haven't had one break yet with the Beadalon, but I'll take the above experiences into consideration. I'm actually surprised to hear this as I have a tough time just cutting the Beadalon to get the length I want to use. I named an articulated fly (with Beadalon 49 strand) that I tied for...

I just use the bead wire from the craft store. The 7 strand for trout, and the 49 for saltwater stuff. Haven't lost a trout, shark or barracuda yet! And, it's super cheap and is basically a lifetime supply.

Is that a booby? How are you fishing that in a big reservoir? I have no idea how to fish boobies, so I am honestly curious. Man, so many puns I'd like to throw in here, but I don't think it's appropriate 😅.

Those Morrish Hoppers work really well in Pink on the Yakima during the late summer. I'm sure they will do just as good in that color, and on other waterways.

I use this guys super simple recipe, and it comes our really fricking good every time. As he mentions, developing the pelicile is key. I do mine under my fan on my patio for 4 hours before smoking. Unless of course it's above 60 or below 32...then I do it in the fridge which I then try and do...

After Covid, a double ear infection, and a sinus infection that lasted 3 weeks (unfortunately those 3 weeks were through Christmas break and new years), we were finally able to get up. I got my oldest a seasons pass and he has been a few times with buddies, but this was our first time as a...

And for a different species, which is not anadromous. You could tie them without a bead? The cutthroat seem to really like that Mop Chenille during October Caddis season, maybe the Steelhead would to!

I had really good luck imitating those with these: I call them Moptober Caddis.
