My Stillwater Fly Box |
Right Side: This side contains most of the smaller attractor and mayfly nymph
patterns that use when fishing stillwaters. (Starting at the Bottom) Row 1: This row contains Tellico Nymphs with and with out bead heads from size 12 - 16. I prefer this pattern tied with a soft hackle collar, for extra movement, and it is probably my favorite pattern to trail larger patterns such as barr's damsel or dries with. Row 2: This row contains Zug Bugs from size 12 - 14, with and without beadheads. Row 3: This row contains Copper Johns size 12 - 16 in both red and chartruse. Row 4: This contains Calibaetis Quill Nymphs size 12 - 16, this is also a good pattern to use followed by a tellico. I caught a lot of Grayling in Yellowstone on this combination. Row 5: This row is composed of Charlie's Callibaetis Nymph size 12 - 18. This pattern is a bit more realistic than the quill nymph and is a better choice for picky fish. I tie this pattern mostly in tan, but also carry tints of brown, white or ginger/ orangish. Center: Rows 1 - 3: These rows contain my cronomid patterns in sizes ranging from 10 - 22. Row 4 and 5: These rows hold my scud imitations from size 10 - 16, I tie some with shell backs and some with out. I also like to tie some of them with a pink mid section to imitate a female with eggs. Left Side: This side contains the larger patterns that I carry. Row 1: The row is made up of Barr's Damsel Nymphs from size 10 - 12. Row 2: This row contains Woven Dragonfly Nymphs from size 6 - 10, this pattern can be fished with a retreive that is either slow, quick or made up of tiny bursts. Row 3: This row contains several leech imitations, including the Janssen's Leech, and Thin Mint Wooly Bugger. Row 4 and 5: This to rows are made up of Barr's Beadhead Boufaces, in Black and Natural Brown. |
