Pat Cohen’s Stacked Deer Hair Diver DVD Review by Alex Cerveniak
If there is any fly tying technique out there that drives beginner and intermediate tiers nuts (aside from marrying wings), it spinning deer hair. What many of these tiers might not realize, however, is that there is an easier way to make bass bugs and floating deer hair flies; stacking deer hair. Unlike spinning deer [...]
Customer Reviews: GreenCaddis Fly Tying Hooks
Several months ago we launched the GreenCaddis brand of fly tying hooks to complement our fly boxes and scissors. We are excited and encouraged by the feedback our customers have given us and we are moving into the next phase of the process which is to introduce more styles and sizes. As the temperature drops and the fishing slows we move into “tying season” and this year as you stock your boxes for next year we hope you can consider giving GreenCaddis hooks a try.
Hatches 2012: The Rio Grande Cichlid – Dots And The Painted Popper by Ronald Braud
My fly fishing club holds a monthly fly tying session. One of the first ones I attended covered the construction of balsa pencil poppers. The session leader provided class members three metal rods to paint eyes on the poppers made during the class. The rods worked well for the No. 4 and larger cupped poppers [...]
Hatches 2012: Irish Wet Flies by Bob Petti
Since I started fishing and tying flies, there has been a constant rumor that wet flies are enjoying a resurgence in America. There have been magazine articles, of course, but there have also been a few quite popular and influential books, particularly those by Dave Hughes and Sylvester Nemes. In 2000, Paul Schmookler dropped a [...]
Hatches 2012: The Clapping Crab by Barry Ord Clarke
When I designed my Clapping Crab, the first thing I considered was the basic shape of the creature — two large protruding claws and a flat, oval-shaped body. To match these traits, I used what I call the “LCD” design method. Those of you unfamiliar with this method need only draw a circle and a [...]
Hatches 2012: Stalcup Style Flies by Sasa Stosic
He was very young when he had his first fly fishing experience, and he quickly expanded his interest into creating flies to fish with. Blessed with exceptional talent, enormous powers of observation and a refined sense of color, he soon began to create innovative patterns that solved many of the problems he encountered with standard-issue [...]
Hatches 2012: The Only by John McCoy
When Lewis fishes for trout, chances are he has a nymph tied to his tippet. Nine times out of 10, it will be a particular nymph, a pattern he developed more than nine years ago. Lewis uses the nymph so often his father nicknamed it “the Only,” short for “the only nymph Joe will use.” [...]
Hatches 2012: The Crowd Surfer Stone by Clint Goodman
For three days it rained, with constant clouds and freezing temps at night. Days were muggy and warm, and I swore nothing was going to dry in time for the drive home. OK, so it wasn’t like I was camping under the open sky being drenched by tears of the gods. But, cabin or no [...]
Hatches 2012: Casting in the Shadow of the Sundance Kid by Greg Senyo
A few years ago, I finally came to realize that being a wannabe was good enough. I was grateful for all the personal fishing opportunities I did get. When I wasn’t fishing, I would stay tuned in by purchasing the latest fly fishing DVDs and magazines available on the market. I would spend countless hours [...]
