Prince Nymph All purpose fly for River use and lakes. I've caught tons of fish at Chopaka, Wannacut and another private lake, including several 9-12 pound Triploids.

I call this one a flashback nymph. Its basically a beadheaded pheasant tail. This fly is a great "searching" nymph and works well anywhere there are maylies or damsels. Excellent stillwater fly.

Post by: Coasthunterjay on March 28, 2008, 01:26:36 PM: I have so much of that fly tying crap that i need to get rid of.....I got one of those cheep 40 dollar kits about 8 plus years ago and then started expanding beyond that and getting more hides and furs, hooks, beads, threads and everything else for what i was tying.

But now i dont have enough time to sit down and tie flys anymore so i just buy them and the rest of my crap sits in a box collecting dust................

AWESOME FLIES BONE!!!!

Not sure if this one has a name, but basically is a damsel style prince nymph. Works well where any damsel hatch is coming off. Early season fish it slow. may and June fish it with a fairly steady retrieval. generally need a heavier tippet material. They strike hard.

Post by: boneaddict on March 28, 2008, 01:50:25 PM: This I suppose is just another seraching nymph, hellgramite. Dollys and big fish like this one. Late season or holdover steelhead like it as well.

Post by: boneaddict on March 28, 2008, 04:41:26 PM: This is also a stone/hellgramite pattern. I caught an 8 pound dolly in the Methow on this fly on 4x tippet. Nice 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.(https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv47%2Fboneaddict%2Fbonesbucks%2F1haresear.jpg&hash=f5a62da776da6b9f9b6431e1fd46931c97479456)

Post by: boneaddict on March 28, 2008, 05:01:50 PM: 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.

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.

Post by: Pathfinder101 on August 13, 2009, 11:11:35 PM: 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).

Post by: Intruder on November 30, 2009, 08:49:53 AM: 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.
