Figured it would be fitting to kick off Memorial Day Weekend with a saltwater pattern. Here is a very simple representation of a sand eel for you Striper Fishermen out there. If you like the looks of the glass style sand eels that utilize epoxy, here is an updated version of the same using Clear Cure Goo instead of Epoxy. These are very quick ties and just plain catch fish. Enjoy

Here is the third installment in a series of Jig Style weighted nymphs for use with any euro or tight line nymphing rig. This pattern is a jig representation of the ever popular prince nymph. Only difference with this particular pattern is it substitutes peacock with a synthetic dubbing and cdc collar. Jig style nymphs are very deadly fish catchers and should be in every nymph fisherman's rotation.
Here is the second in a series of Jig Style weighted nymphs for use with any euro or tight line nymphing rig. This pattern is a brown version that is working quite well currently as a representation of any type of medium to larger mayfly nymph, notably the hendrickson, sulfur, quill gordon or the like. Jig style nymphs are very deadly fish catchers and should be in every nymph fisherman's rotation.
Here is the first in a series of Jig Style weighted nymphs for use with any euro or tight line nymphing rig. This pattern is a light olive version that is working quite well currently as a representation of a baetis type nymph or any olive colored medium to small mayfly nymph, or caddis larva. Jig style nymphs are very deadly fish catchers and should be in every nymph fisherman's rotation.
Here is the shanked trailer hook version of my ever popular Ice Pick Streamer. I spun this guy up for you swingers out there who like to fish for steelhead or any species for that matter on the swing. The video demonstrates how to effectively tie a shanked style streamer with a trailer hook, and how to properly position and set up the trailer hook on these types of flies. Enjoy
A very simple quill body style dry fly for the upcoming Blue Wing Olive Hatches in early spring. This fly like most, can be altered in size and color to represent any mayfly emergence. The construction of the fly demonstrates a couple of tips to ensure neatly tied and durable quill bodied flies.
My double articulated streamer that I concocted last season, and it accounted for some rather stellar browns. Alter the colors and you can cover the bases. The color combo tied in the video is my all time favorite. This fly has both horizontal and vertical swimming action
A pretty simple emergent midge pattern tied on a rather unique hook. A few slight tweeks in color of thread and rib material and you can cover any midge on any given river at any given time. Have fun with this one.
A showcase for my flytying videos showcasing my own personal patterns, and time tested prover patterns with some added flare. Enjoy the videos and check back often as I hope for this to become a one stop shop for the beginner and advanced tier to learn sound skills and build flies that catch fish, not just fisherman. Pattern requests are always welcome and don't hesitate to ask any questions. Happy fishing
1 more video and it's a hundred, 10 more fly videos and the same.... spread the word, tell your tying buddies to join, maybe I will offer up a contest when we inch closer to 100 tying videos. Might involve a free selection of my patterns.....
Just think about it… What if you were trapped under something heavy and the mouse was out of your reach? Scary, right? That's exactly why we have these keyboard shortcuts so you can still use Vimeo until the help arrives.
