Tail: Premium Deer
Body: Peacock, red floss
Hackle: Whiting Bronze
Wing: Kalf Hair
First time I’m going for a Royal Wulff on the vice. This is a great pattern if you are after trout, it will float forever and give a excellent impression on the surface. I don’t normally tie with calf either, so this was a first on more than one thing
A smaller version on Mustad 94840 #20:
Tube: Green
Thread: UNI 6/0 Grey
Tag: UNI-French Silver
Body: UNI-Floss Highland Green, Lagartun French Silk Floss
Rib: UNI-French Oval Med. Silver, UTC French Tinsel Med Gold
Dubbing: Seal Highlander Green (in front of the wing)
Wing: 3 colors of green templedog, Silver & Green Krystal Flash, Peacock
Sides: JC
Cone: FutureFly
A fun one to create: just get all the green I have and put it together on a fly. The optimal would be to have a green JC for the sides as well, but you can only have so many necks…

Midge season is coming shortly and one of the things you need in the box here in Norway is this palmer midge. A very simple pattern that is quick to tie up a row of in sizes from #14 down to #22
The cork where I have mounted the midges comes from the Sorachi Ace bottle from Brooklyn brewery – if you get a chance to taste this I would recommend sharing a bottle with a friend!

Midge season is soon upon us, so I have started to do a inventory on my flyboxes to see what I have and what I’m missing. So: midges will be focus for a while and you will see different midge patterns appearing here in the time to come.
What is your favorite midge pattern?

Spider flies is on of those patterns that I haven’t fished much with, but that I believe will work very well for my trout streams when summer comes, so while snow is pouring down (again…) I tie up some variations of this
