Vaskebjørn on streamer hook

Hook: TMC 9394 #6
Thread: UNI 6/0 Black
Hackle: Whiting Rooster Saddle Grizzly
Dubbing: Burnt Orange/Rusty Brown/Gill Red A.Jensen Saltwater Dub, The Fly. Co Seals Fur Red

Today was Vaskebjørn experiments: took the pattern up to a #6 TMC 9394 streamer hook and tried out some new saltwater dubbing from A.Jensen. Have not tried these in the water yet, but I like the idea of having the eyes a bit in the front combined with a longer section of the body in bright colors. Will come back with reports on this once I get it wet.

Hook: TMC 100BL #12
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Yellow
Body: Fly-Rite Extra Fine Poly #9 Golden Yellow
Wing: André Brun Closed Cell Foam
Head: Deer

A while back I was north in Norway and had one of these in my box (this was before I had started tying), and had very good luck with it. This “Hvitvinge” from André Brun is a great moth imitation that makes a lot of noice and movement on the surface and will keep on floating forever. I bought a couple of bags with the foam from André Brun and got it in the mail yesterday, I had to tie up a round of these on a TMC 100BL to see how it is to work with. Once you get the layering and tying in of the foam (at around the second fly), this is a quick and effective fly to tie up. Will experiment with some different body/head color and also tie it up on a non-bl hook.

Hook: Kamasan B280 #6
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Black
Tail: Dyed Golden Pheasant Tippets Orange
Tag: UTC French Tinsel
Body: Horns Soft Salmon Dub Kingfisher Blue
Rib: UTC French Tinsel
Wing: Brown & Blue templedog, silver flash
Sides: JC

This one started with the dubbing: I got some good kingfisher blue from Horns the other day and I built this fly around that color. The dubbing is great and I found some templedog that matched in color. I really tried to keep it down in number of materials and not have it super-big when it came to the wing. This one I will tie up in different variations before I even have fished it: one that I just “know” will work when it hit the water

Following up from the other day I tied up a batch of pale yellow (Hare-Tron Pale Yellow dubbing for body) balloon caddis. I also tried with black/red foam on a couple of them to see how that came out.

I added a bit of white CDC on top of the wing to add a bit of extra life to the fly:

Wing casing: Foam 2mm

Spinner fall can be be the most fun you have, or the most frustrating you can come by…. I’m not quite sure where I picked up this pattern, but it is a good one where you can swap out the colors quite easy and keep in different sizes for that one day where it really matters.

The para post from Hareline is great for these patterns, I’ve used it for a caddis pattern with great success; it floats forever

Bottom view: the imprint this have from underneath is the most important. The colors are important, yes, but look at that imprint

With different wing colors:

6-12
