2:05 pm Fly Tying

I’m tying flies for the fall fly fishing season lately. here’s my version of a ’stimulator’. It works as an attractor pattern for the oct. caddis fly hatch that occurs on the Stan and Tuolumne rivers where I mostly fish. Also, a good BWO hatch is coming so I expect to tie some of those as well.

I tie this stimulator by tying in a thick deer hair tail on a #12 hook. Next I tie in a long yellow grizzly hackle and dub with sparkle brown dubbing. Wind dubbing forward towards thorax and palmer hackle leaving the excess hackle dangling. I then tie in another clump of deer hair for the wing and add more dubbing. wind dubbing back to towards head followed by the excess hackle and snip excess. Finish head with the orange thread. whip finish, cement. Done. This will make a big fat meal for a hungry fall trout! Tight Lines! PM
