Red Midge Pupa
Hook: TMC 2457 #14
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Brown
Tail: Sparkle Organza
Body: Red Floss, UTC Ultra Wire SM Silver
Thorax: Peacock
Working with floss can be a pain at times; it splits up and doesn’t stay put where you want it. But it really doesn’t matter when it comes to flies like this that you actually go out and fish with: this red midge pupae should be a good addition to any box for when the trout season starts up again
Yellow Rabbit Emerger
Hook: TMC 2457 #14
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Yellow
Body: Hareline Turkey Biot Yellow
Wing: Rabbit Feet Aurivilli
Thorax: Peacock, Fly-Rite Extra Fine Poly #9 Golden Yellow
Got this great rabbit foot dyed in aurivilli yellow the other day and needed to tie some smaller dry-flies again (been on a salt-run lately), this yellow emerger should go great for trout. The sparse wing will make it float just below the surface, great for trout!
A Blue and a Red one
A blue and a red variation of the orange and silver streamer I put up the other day. Only difference is the absence of jungle cock: I only have a small patch and until I get a full skin I’m using the eyes for more traditional salmon flies.
Green Guinea streamer
Hook: Allen SW002 #6
Thread:UNI 6/0 Black
Tail: 2x Green Guinea feathers
Body: Red floss
Collar: 2x Green Guinea feathers
The inspiration came from flytyingforum.com where someone posted a fly with guinea tail and collar. Could maybe a have cut down on the length and amount, but I will test this in the sea this weekend to see how it flows.
