Boneaddict's Fly Box(nymphs)

[boneaddict]

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.

[boneaddict]

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

[boneaddict]

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.

Two other versions.

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.

[boneaddict]

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.

[boneaddict]

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.

[boneaddict]

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...

[boneaddict]

Thats cool Path, and thats one of the most productive flies in any water.

[Pathfinder101]

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).

those are all good looking flies Im a big fan of red on flies i bet that bloody m is deadly going to tie some up for the cedar river ive been tying flies for 30 years. Bohn you ever fish the cedar river in maplevalley/ renton. how about roche lake in kamloops?

[Intruder]

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.
