Up next, the Klinkhamer. I'll do a dozen standard like this, a few hi-viz post, a few all black with hi-viz post, and I'm also going to try black posts this year for visibility in high glare.

A brook trout in a fishing net
Success from the Guides' Choice Hares Ear tonight. Amazed how well a sz 14 klink works as an indicator and can easily float a weighted & beaded sz 16 nymph.

This was the first year I tied klinkhammers for my dry box.
Glad to find that they work!

First trout of the year, on a brook I hadn't fished before today. 15 days earlier than my first trout last year. Took a sz 14 prince nymph tied this winter.

Very cool to see one of my local fly shops, Tied by Night, featured by Flylords in this video. Roland is a local legend. Even seems like he tidied up the shop for this video!

Ahhh I see. I really like the cam style. Makes it easier to adjust during tying, like flipping a parachute fly sideways, etc.

Filling a new box with this year's ties
#flytying #flyfishing
Ok, what's everyone's fav online #flyfishing retailer that's offering that SA 2-for-1 deal?
02.04.2025 21:03 — 👍 4 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I've always wondered, why use dry fly hackle for this style of hopper? It's supposed to imitate legs, which soft hackle would do IN & on the water and without changing the floating angle of the fly.

Mid-tie thought: isn't a stimulator just a really big elk hair caddis? #flytying

aoc and bernie look like every local action news anchor team.
22.03.2025 02:33 — 👍 5497 🔁 412 💬 106 📌 28Realized today that the only "true" dry flies I tied this winter are Elk Hair Caddis, Para-Adams, and Stimulators 👀 Everything else is a foam hopper or an emerger.
Should I tie up any other "true" dries?

Stepping out of my comfort zone to spin some deer hair for bass flies. This is as close as I have come so far to a presentable Taps Bug

Anyway I just sent a fax to my senator.

Honestly the box on the right in this pic is that box for me 😆 it made it into my pack at the end of the season last year 🫣
Maybe everything from the other boxes will end up in there this year.
