Some more variations on this pattern. Tied in hand with silk thread and vintage silk button twist. The hackle is partridge. The underwing is rooster. The upper wing is guinea fowl.
This is the only time of year that I get to use this kind of fly, and the fishing has been disappointing. 😢

Tied up this cute little fly in hand. The wings were very fiddly. Haven't made one of these since last winter. There are plenty of imperfections, but it's a good first attempt for the season. The gold and green wraps are button hole silk. The collar is some kind of duck. The wings are speckled quail.

These Ahrex hooks are not cheap.

Each branch is not that thick on its own, but together they are pretty thick 😉
I have walked through this area so many times. But I never noticed this tree before 🤔#FlyFishing #Fishing #FlyTying #Nature #Creek #Hiking #Walking #Art #Photography

The flies I tied for trout didn’t work on trout 🙃
But they worked on a variety of fish including, Fallfish, Rock Bass, Creek Chub, Sunfish, and Smallmouth 🙄
So, I feel okay, even though they eat just about any fly 🤔My excuse? The trout were only stocked about a week ago 😏

Kind of Isonychia #14 😉
Should’ve used #12, but I think this is better for my fishing 🤔

Darby Creek, PA
I have accumulated a lot of flies, mostly the ones I bought 🙃
The ones I tied myself are nearly all gone because I use them first. So, no more tying or purchasing until I use up the flies I already have 🤔I should do something similar when I buy “wrong beer”…😅

Tied my first fly in a couple of months. That's a Gamakatsu S10-B in size 8. I really like this hook, but I struggle with the size 8 for some reason. Think I did it justice here, though. It's has got a natural "black" yarn body with a gold colored rib. The wing is deer hair. Tied it in hand (without a vise) using YLI 100 weight silk thread.
I caught one crappie on this fly and then promptly lost it in a tree. C'est la vie.

I spooked a few trout in this nice spot 🥲
Next time, I'll be more careful with my approach 😉#FlyFishing #Fishing #Nature #Creek #Wildlife #Hiking #Walking #FlyTying #Photography

I didn’t get much fly fishing over the weekend, aside from about an hour in extremely strong winds. Hopefully, I’ll have a bit better opportunity next weekend 😉

Cedar Hollow Run, PA
- tributary of the Valley CreekIt was extremely windy yesterday - my fly line was all over the place 😒
The temperature was dropping. Trees were falling down 😨
After about an hour of wandering, I decided to head back to my car 😉#FlyFishing #Fishing #Nature #Creek #Wildlife #Hiking #Walking #FlyTying #Photography

While waiting for my son 😮
I was thinking of attaching a hook to this seed😉
Do you think it’ll work? 🤔#FlyFishing #Fishing #Nature #Creek #Wildlife #Hiking #Walking #FlyTying #Photography #Soccer #YouthSports

Got some black lace yarn in the mail. I guess it's a blue charm variant.
I also got some white yarn to experiment with dyes, but that's a story for another day.

Haven't tied flies in a couple of months. Need something visible for murky water this week. These are #8 partridge patriot single hooks. The wing is squirrel tail. The marabou "beard" is inspired by the classic steelhead fly heron hackle. I will pinch the barbs and clip the dangling thread when the head cement is dry.

I got a big patch of moose skin in the mail, and I'm dreaming of the big legendary brown trout in the 'hooch below Buford Dam. These are tied up on the Gamakatsu T10-6H in size 4; maybe one will draw out a beast.

Not bad for my first turkey-slip wing.

I'm gonna try to put a turkey slip wing on it, but I have no idea what I'm doing.

I haven't tied flies in hand for a couple of months. I caught a juvenile spotted bass with one of these on the Ocmulgee River yesterday. It was the only fish that I caught, and I caught it before my first cast! The fly was drifting in the water while I was peeling line off of the reel.
The silk thread came from a lot of vintage silk on eBay.

I'm working on Gunnar Brammer's Chosen One streamer pattern. These hooks (Gamakatsu B10s #1/0) aren't quite big enough for the full fuzzy fiber head. If I drop down to a #1 or a #2, I can tie the same fly and leave the head off; I think they will make really nice deceivers without the bulky head.
This material is a kanekalon product called Easy Braid. It is way less expensive than the premium craft fur products marketed for tying streamers.
