Lance and Greg, both from Northern Lights Fly Tyers and Fishers club that I’m also a member of had been subjected to the reports from a number of us about the hogs of Swan Lake. Well, they finally made it out this past weekend and they’ve put together a video over at their site, fiftynorth.ca.
Enjoy!

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

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 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.

On the NLFT forum, a member from Calgary posted an excellent link to the Open Media Network (the URL is below). And recently, I’ve started watching a fly tying program on one of the PBS stations I get (provided I wake up early enough).
As it turns out, the Open Media Network has download links to 50+ episodes of Fly Tying – The Angler’s Art. The downloads aren\’t the fastest, but I was able to get them all, so now I can sleep in, and not feel bad that I missed an episode 
Here are the links:
