The uni-Midge
This looks like an excellent fly – instead of using uni-stretch, I’m going to try a couple other materials – midge flex and and some stretch floss that I have on hand already!
Materials:
Hook size: #14 – #20
Brass/Gold bead to match hook size
Body: uni-stretch (color variable)
Thorax: Peacock herl or peacock dubbing

A couple fly tying video’s
The Brassie
The Brassie is an excellent, and easy to tie fly.Try different colors of wire – copper, brass, red are all effective colors
The Guadalupe Green
The Guadalupe Green looks like it would be a very effective pattern up here – I think that I’m going to tie a few of these in different colors as well.

The Dandelion
Came across this fly a while back on hipwader.com – and rediscovered it while organizing bookmarks. An interesting pattern for sure! Click on the image for the complete instructions on tying it.

It’s starting again!
Starting to get pumped… Reading a few posts of people getting out on the Bow River, and other locations south of here, flipping through fly fishing books and magazines just fuels the desire even more.
A couple friends and myself have set the date for our annual June excursion, and have the first week tentatively booked off. We’re really anxious to get the new pontoon boats (just ordered them last week) out on the water…. so I suspect that we’ll probably try them out on some more local waters before the big trip.
I’ve been trying to get more time in on the vise – doing up a bunch of Czech nymphs, and want to try more dry flies – so I’m doing up a variety of mayfly’s and caddis flies. All this along with the usual Muddler Minnows, TU mutants, and woolly buggers.
