This version was one I learned from an old Left Kreh and Bob Clouser fly tying tips video (VHS back in the day). In this version Lefty Kreh twists up the chenille and the hackle to help reinforce the hackle on the fly. It might not look as pretty as the palmered version but it is sturdy and almost bomb proof. I always thought it was an interesting take on the Woolly Bugger and over the years it has stuck with me. --Enjoy If you have any questions about the tying of this fly feel free to let me know in the comments below.

A wet fly similar to the Apple Green but the wing is made from White Tipped Turkey. Since Turkey feathers and I have a Love/Hate relationship, I am not 100% certain just which feather to get the "White Tipped Turkey" from but for the purposes of the video am using a Mottled Turkey feather and focusing on the areas of the feather with the white tips to the slips. Another wet fly to get me closer in my quest to understanding Turkey feathers! --Enjoy If you have any questions about the tying of this fly feel free to let me know in the comments below.

There are various ways the fly is tied these days and I discuss some of those in the video. As well, the fly can be fished as a dry fly or a wet fly. It was created back in the 1920's by Frank Hornberg and still catches fish today. Another fly I like to refer to as a "bread and butter" fly as it is very common and it gets the job done. -- Enjoy If you have any questions about the tying of this fly feel free to let me know in the comments below.

It is a very basic wet fly, which wet flies do not have to be complicated. Three components and straightforward in it's construction. Although tied as a trout fly I am certain the Panfish would take to this fly very quickly.

I think it would work well for Trout as well if they happen to target crayfish but it was created and is mostly fished for warmwater species. It is a quick fly to tie with uncomplicated claws, shell and tail. I first discovered the Skip's Dad from Skip Morris' book The Art of Tying the Bass Fly ( https://amzn.to/45lVlOe ). It is a great fly for shallow and clear water where you might be sight fishing but I also like to swing it under a strike indicator through deeper holes and runs like you would a nymph.

I had a follower reach out to me and ask if I could tie the Carrie's Fancy and thought this would be a great time to get back into tying these wonderful flies. She tied so many patterns that it is hard to find the history on all of them. The Carrie's Fancy is, what I would call, a basic featherwing pattern. Basic in the sense that it has all the pieces and parts that many of these types of flies have. The tag on this fly is a little longer than most but there are many patterns that do have a shorter body and longer tag. If you are wanting to start tying this type of fly, the Carrie's Fancy is a nice one to start with; not too complicated. -- Enjoy If you have any questions about the tying of this fly feel free to let me know in the comments below.
