a big rabbit hair leech.  This is awesome in black, maroon or red and fished at night or late hours.  Another deadly fly at Bailey Lake.

Here's one I'll tie on if I am headed across the lake to my favorite hole.

The old ime standard Hare's ear.   Just about any body of water at anytimewill catch fish.  You can grease it and fish it as an emerger, or put a bead on it and fish it deep.  I like to fish it with a bead and a dryline with a chironimid dropper and you can catch ALOT of fish in most waters.

Here is a dragon fly nymph.  It can be tied weedless.  Notice the difference in body shape from the damsels I will post next.  Short and thick.  Fished best righ in the weeds.  A good summer fly when nothing else seems to be working.

Damsels are sparesly tied, long narrow flies.  I have several versoins.  Some I use monofilament eyes and some I bead head and some I leave just normal.

This is a famous fly from the Kamloops region.  It is tied with died blackbear.  One of the few flies I tie using bear.  I don't even want to know what bug it simulates.  Big leeches are also a staple up there, along with the biggest caddis yu will ever see called a travelling sedge.

Now the staple of every stillwater box.  CHIRONIMIDS  There are many patterns and these are just a couple I have in my box.  i have no idea if there is a pattend on a couple of these, but they are ones I tie.  the first is a Chans chironimid and a GREAT fly for any of the columbia basin lakes.

Bone, thanks for the lesson on patterns. I thought I was making headway with my Lower 48 fly box, but now I have a new bar to meet.

I know that bloody mary works wonders for metal heads on just about any river in the country. Works best in the mothow though. Good looking box i dont have the patients to tie up small trout flies.

funny, I just found this thread.  there's some cool patterns here.  I think I need to tie some bloody marys.  I just busted out the kit tonight in preparation for my trip to MT later this month.  My boy got his first fly tying lesson too.  Turned out a bead head hare's ear that wasn't half bad...
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

agreed.  Pheasant Tail Bead Head is my favorite for a dropper rig (under an elk hair caddis).  That one is a little tough to negotiate for a beginer's fingers though, so I taught him the hare's ear (my second favorite).

Nice bugs man!!!  I really like some of the damsel patterns and leeches.  I haven't tied many trout flies in the last 10 years or so.  Lots of steelhead stuff... big, swimmy, and creepy stuff.  That little detailed stuff takes some patience.
