Fly Patterns - Fly Tying
Stillborn Adult Midge
by Scott Stisser
It was a nice early spring day in Cheeseman Canyon, sunny but not too bright and no wind to speak of. The South Platte River in the canyon is known to be notorious for finicky fish. Personally I love fishing this water it is quite beautiful and you can rely on the trout always providing a challenge.
This was one of those frustrating days, midges were popping and a few fish were rising from time to time, the rising fish were quite consistent. I threw every thing I had at them, adult midges, trailing midge pupae, a Trico spinner, even some attractor flies but I only caught a couple fish. READ MORE...

Mercer's Poxyback Pale Morning Dun
I remember poring over every page of Ernest Schwiebert’s NYMPHS book when it first came out, absolutely enthralled with the detailed pattern recipes accompanying many of the mayfly descriptions…his desire to imitate as many of the insects’ unique and natural features as possible absolutely resonated with me, even at that tender stage of my fly tying and fishing career. Years later, as I was developing my Poxyback series of mayfly nymphs, that same desire to design as many potential...

It seems like most anglers proceed through a timely progression of flyfishing. I was no different. Now I have to admit something, and I will do so right off the get go. I flyfish steelhead. I live for it. It defines me, I judge all other fish, both fresh and salt water, by steelhead. From Atlantic Salmon to Striped Marlin, I have been fortunate to swim a fish or two. And if it will swim well and take a fly, I... |

As I eased the still struggling dragon through the shallow water toward my feet, a feeling came over me that I was making the world a safer place for those less fortunate than myself. Only moments earlier, this scaly monster had been casually cruising nearby eating defenseless, stranded damsels at will and I only did what any good knight would do. OK, so today’s world is desperately short of real dragons, and my armor consisted of Simms Gore-Tex waders... |
Mercer's Missing LinkOriginally tied as a dead/dying caddis pattern (in an attempt to solve chronically erratic evening action on northern California’s Lower Sacramento River), this unusual pattern has evolved into my number one “go-to” dry in virtually all dry fly situations. The fly seems almost bizarrely effective, and not just on the Lower Sac. During one week in southwest Montana and Idaho recently I first used it on Silver Creek, where it did outstanding double duty during a blanket hatch of #24...
The Lady Amherst - Step by Stepby Monte Smith
I like tippet-wing flies: the Ranger series, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Stevenson, the Evening Star and Lady Amherst…just a few of the tippet-wings that I have tied over the years. I was asked to dress a Lady Amherst by an author in Germany for an article. Since I have not dressed one of these since 2003, I looked forward to the opportunity to re-visit one of the modern classic tippet wing flies. I won’t bore you with the... |
