Green CDC & Deer

When I was out in the forest the other day, this fly was the one that the trout really couldn’t get enough of. It is easy to tie, can be varied in size and colors to match whatever you have hatching around you and it catches fish! The pattern is really simple with only dubbing, CDC and deer hair (or the equivalent). The CDC makes this fly come to life on the surface, and it really floats well…..

Hook: Mustad 94840 #14
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Green
Body: Hareline Hare’s Ear Plus Dark Olive
Wing Case: 2 Green CDC with Deer Hair on top

Apply dubbing to the hook
Tie in two CDC feathers and dub in over the thread

Make a loop of the CDC and fasten behind the hook eye. Make sure to make room for the Deer hair!

Add Deer hair on top of the CDC and a small amount of dubbing before tying of.

This is a general pattern that I will have a lot of for the comming summer: I will tie up in sizes #10 to #18 and vary the color between green, white and rusty-red (the CDC colors I currently have)

Black Stone Nymph

Posted on 4 June, 20134 June, 2013 by Håvard Eide daiichi hareline mallard flank sheer utc

Hook: Daiichi 1260 #12
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Black
Tail: Hareline Turkey Biot Black
Body: UTC Vinyl Rib Nymph Clear, black thread underneath
Thorax: Hareline Hare’s Ear Plus Chocolate Brown
Wing Case: Hareline Scud Back 1/8″ Black
Wing: Mallard Flank

The clear Vinyl Rib gives a huge amount of variations when it comes to color for this one: just use different thread underneath and it will take on a diffirent shade. The body is a bit uneaven and could have been a bit thicker and the wing case above the foremost thorax part should have been better, but it will fish!

Dubbing: Wapsi Natural Nymph Blend Squirrel

This nymph blend from Wapsi was one of the first dubbing packages that I bought and I have gone through quite a few packages, I don’t know if it is because I started out with this or if it is because I really like it! The blend is easy to work with and gives a life in nymphs (and slender emerger bodies) that I appreciate.

The blend is a good mixture between fine and long fibers

Dubbing on the thread is very easy: can be applied both in a thin and quite a thick layer on the thread

Dubbed on a Mustad 94840 #14 here, the long fibers tend to stick out and give lots of life to the body

On a Dai-Riki 135 #14 hook, with Hareline Scudback 1/8″ and Ultra wire wrapped. Here the blend comes through to its name and creates long nice legs on the fly

Organza Spinner

Posted on 28 May, 201328 May, 2013 by Håvard Eide guideline hareline taimen tmc uni

Hook: TMC 100 #24
Thread: UNI 17/0
Tail: Hareline Mayfly Tail
Body: Hareline Turkey Biot Quills Lt. Olive
Wing: Guideline Sparkle Organza
Thorax: Taimen Beaver Dubbing, Dark Olive

Great little spinner pattern, first time I have used Organza for a fly, and the Turkey Biot got on nicely: I got my first biot this winter and have spent some time getting it on correctly, but now it seems to get on ok. The taimen beaver dubbing in the thorax should give the fly some buoyancy.
