Just tie more! Some for the logs, some for the trees, some for the fish. Those look like trout candy, Zoran!

I got a limb that now holds 1/2 dozen different ties + now a nymph pair and bobber of my sons. The roots hold a couple more. But if you get through the window you can then get enough drift, nice fish are usually to be had.
Did a lot of plastic bottle and cup cleanup last time out. Water is low enough now I should be able to get in and clean up after myself. I know where I got to get a bunch of braided line from other folks also.

I found a comb on the beach that I now keep in my pack. I use it to brush out my flies, as some flies with a lot of flash material get tangled up after a lot of use or after catching a number of fish on them. It works really well. I wish I’d started carrying one a long time ago.

No different than flies with foam or plastic tinsel.

 

[Little Fork]

Saw a lot of these around while walking the dogs up the creek today. They were smaller than I’d expected.

So tied some of these on size 12.

And a couple with snowshoe bodies. If nothing else they’ll probably float well.
