Hook: Mustad SL73UBLN-36890, #4 – 2/0 Thread: UTC 210 Denier Fl. Fire Orange & Danville 6/0, Fl. Fire Orange Tag: Danville Mylar Tinsel #14, Silver Body: UTC 210 Denier Fl. Fire Orange Wing: 4 to 5 stacks of Marabou, Purple 1st Collar: Purple Hackle Eyes: Jungle Cock 2nd Collar: Guinea Fowl dyed Orange (I used Fl. Orange Mallard Flank in the video) Head: Danville 6/0, Fl. Fire Orange Shewey's Spawning Purple is a very fun fly to tie. The wing is a unique style as well as the body. It can be tied in different style to meet various needs. Just a basic salmon and steelhead pattern that is productive as well as fun. - Enjoy If you have any questions about the tying of this fly feel free to let me know in the comments below.

This is basically the free level of content in that community. In order to access the full community you must "Become a Supporter". 2) When you become a supporter you can pay monthly or annually. However, the system is limited to monthly support until the community reaches 50 supporters. Since I currently do not have 50 supporters you can only support through monthly contributions. I will be reaching out to all who sign up and support the Guild in regards to who would rather support annually (which would be cheaper) so that some sort of correction/compensation can be made when the annual option is available. 3) I have decided to post on the Guild whenever I upload a video to YouTube. This means that if you are a member or a supporter of the Guild you can see all of the content there. I figure it might be easier in regards to having less places to go to view content. The plan is to give supporters early access to the videos and then the members can see the videos when they go live on YouTube. I am still working with the system trying to figure it all out. If anyone sees any "glitches" or anything that does not seem right please let me know. Plus, feedback is always welcome.

Step by Step showing you how to tie the Canada wet fly. Hook: Mustad 3399, #4-#14 Thread: Danville 6/0, Black & White Tail: Sparkle Yard, Red or Red Wool Rib: Danville Silver/Gold Mylar Tinsel, #14 Body: Danville 4-Strand Rayon Floss, Red Hackle: Schlappen, Red Wing: Gray Turkey or any mottled Black & White The Canada is listed in Ray Bergman's book Trout (page 426, plate 02) and that is about all I know on this fly. I chose to tie this fly and do a video because of the turkey wing as well as the yarn tip. Not many wet flies have a tip made from yarn. Even though the yarn is listed as a tip in the recipe Don Bastian mentioned it is actually a tail that is trimmed as a tip (meaning very short). A little something different. Plus, I am looking at doing a number of wet flies that in corporate turkey in the wing. Turkey is not as straightforward as goose and duck quill (at least for me) and I am enjoying learning some of the subtleties of the material. The turkey used in the video is usually called Ozark Turkey Tail Feather (https://amzn.to/3XlVGwd). Other gray turkey feathers can be used if they get you the results you need. The Canada is a fun fly to tie. I look forward to fishing this fly in the upcoming season. - Enjoy If you have any questions about the tying of this fly feel free to let me know in the comments below.

Step by Step showing you how to tie the Black Moose wet fly.

I do not know much about this fly but very much like the colors. The purple, green and mottled Guinea make this fly really pop. I also found it to be intriguing because there is not rib or a hackle on this fly. The rib often is in place to help protect the body material. I think you could add a silver rib on this or even add a layer of head cement or UV material over the body to help protect the fly and make it last longer. I also think it would be interesting to add a green or purple throat to the Black Moose to see if it helps it's effectiveness. I think it would be a great fly for muddy or cloudy waters as the black and purple would make the fly stand out more. - Enjoy If you have any questions about the tying of this fly feel free to let me know in the comments below. **** If you would like to purchase some Black Moose wet flies there are a number for sale on my website (while supplies last). - https://dressedirons.com/product/the-black-moose-3-pack/ If you like this video hit the Thumbs Up button and think about subscribing.

It is a fun attractor pattern for when the waters are flowing clear or slightly stained. Not very good for muddy or cloudy waters (in my experience). The Bouncer is a great fly to learn how to tie matched wing wet flies. The only catch is in tying in the orange floss tip but that is discussed in the video. Overall, a fun and productive patter. Plus, a very old pattern. It is also mentioned in Ray Bergman's book Trout. - Enjoy If you have any questions about the tying of this fly feel free to let me know in the comments below. **** If you would like to purchase some Bouncer wet flies there are a number for sale on my website (while supplies last). - https://dressedirons.com/product/the-bouncer-3-pack/ If you like this video hit the Thumbs Up button and think about subscribing.

One of the things I find curious when learning about flies and their histories is how similar certain patterns can be. Even today, a new fly pattern can become popular and in no time there are "variants" that others are using that make the fly more effective for their fishing circumstances. The question is (and will always be debated I think) as to the need for an entire new name for the "variant" or simply "XYZ Fly ABC variant". The Getland sort of brought this to mind when I ran across it. Did the Abbey come first or the Getland? Maybe they both were developed at the same time in different regions. I do not know enough about either fly to answer those questions. I do know they are both fun to tie and productive flies. - Enjoy If you have any questions about the tying of this fly feel free to let me know in the comments below. **** If you would like to purchase some Getland wet flies there are a number for sale on my website (while supplies last). - https://dressedirons.com/product/the-getland-3-pack/ If you like this video hit the Thumbs Up button and think about subscribing.

Due to it's brighter colors the Ibis & White does well in clearer water. The colors will stand out against the surrounding underwater environment but if the water is too cloudy or muddy it gets lost in the light colored waters.

I have had many comments and questions about videos and articles and everyone had been so positive and helpful. If you have seen any of my videos in the past two months then it is no big guess where the inspiration for the Christmas Jubilee 2019 came from. Yes, it was dreamed up while working on a number of Carrie Stevens patterns a few weeks ago. I knew what I was looking for but I just needed some time to actually make it all work. I had great fun creating this pattern and hope it inspires people to create something new at their vise. The video is a bit different in that I do not explain how things are put together. If you need some assistance with that I suggest you look at any of the Carrie Stevens patterns I recently tied. Again, I thank everyone for their support and continued encouragement. I look forward to 2020 and the addition of even more content. It should be an exciting year. - Enjoy.

With the Turkey and peacock resembling many different food items and the red tip adds just enough to attract some attention. I chose to tie the Governor this week because of the turkey wing. Turkey can be a difficult material to tie with and the more I tie various wet flies using turkey the more I get to thinking about the different feathers on a turkey and which ones are best for what application. I am in the process of collecting a number of different turkey feathers and doing some research into which are best for what flies.

Hook: Mustad 3399, #6-#14 Thread: Danville 6/0, White & Black Tail: Goose Shoulder, Red Rib: Danville Mylar Tinsel, Gold, #16/18 Body: Danville 4-strand Rayon Floss, Copenhagen Blue Throat: Schlappen, Brown Wing: Mallard Flank The Blue Professor is just a variation of the regular Professor which has Yellow Floss for the body. I tied the Professor a few years ago but tied it a bit different than this version. First of all, it has Blue floss, a Copenhagen Blue to be exact. Danville has about four or five different shades of blue floss. Also, in this version I use red Goose Shoulder for the tail and in the previous video I simply used red Rooster hackle fibers. Otherwise, the Blue Professor is the same as the regular Professor. I wanted to tie this because in warmwater circles Blue is a very effective color. I want to fish some of these this next spring and summer and see how they do. One other note, I mentioned in the video that the bags of "Mallard Flank" you purchase at the fly shop is not really Mallard Flank. It is more like the breast and belly feathers. This can make a difference in creating the wing for the Professor. I recently ran across a great video by Kelly Gallop explaining (on a real Mallard no less) the actual flank feathers and what is labeled Flank Feathers. Check it out here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmGcClu-7WY.

Hook: Mustad 3399, #6-#14 Thread: Danville 6/0, White & Black Tag: Danville Mylar Tinsel, Gold, #14 Tail: Goose Quill, Black Rib: Danville Mylar Tinsel, Gold, #16/18 Body: Danville 4-strand Rayon Floss, Orange Throat: Schlappen, Orange Wing: Golden Pheasant Tippet The Golden Pheasant is another very old pattern in Ray Bergman's book Trout. I chose to tie this fly and do a video on it because I had not tied any flies yet with a Golden Pheasant Tippet wing. When tying wet flies, often the flies have very similar construction just different colors of slightly different materials for the tail or throat or wing etc... This fly has a very broad wing and because of the specific material involved it presents an interesting challenge. So much so that I reached out to a fellow fly tier Fred Klein at Grizzly King Flies for a little advice. Head over to his site (https://www.grizzlykingfly.com/) or follow him on Instagram and you will find a beautiful Golden Pheasant fly he did. I was experiencing the "challenge": with the wings and asked Fred for some tips. Watch the video to find out what he mentioned and to learn a little of how I dealt with the issues of tying the Golden Pheasant, i regards to the wing. Overall, a wonderful fly to tie and it was very satisfying when it all came together. - Enjoy If you have any questions about the tying of this fly feel free to let me know in the comments below.

All in all, this is a very basic Carrie Stevens pattern. The tag, tail, rib, body, throat and wing are all very standard techniques Carrie used in her flies. There is no belly or underwing on this pattern, which are also very common on her flies so the Lady Killer is sort of a bare bones Stevens pattern. I enjoyed tying this fly and hope you will as well. - Enjoy. If you have any questions about the tying of this fly feel free to let me know in the comments below.

In fact they are both identical except the wing hackle is White in the Doctor White and Gray in the (you guessed it) Doctor Gray. I did find out that the Doctor Gray was named after a fishing friend she had who was Doctor Gray. Who he was exactly I have not been able to find out. I mostly chose the Doctor Gray because of the bright colors in the throat and collar. They seem to stand out even more against the gray background of the wing. I thought it was a lovely fly and it did turn out to be a lot of fun to tie. - Enjoy. If you have any questions about the tying of this fly feel free to let me know in the comments below.

The Golden Witch is very similar to another fly she created called the Demon. As I have mentioned throughout this series many of her patterns are similar to others with one or two material differences to create a new pattern. From tiers perspective if you learn o tie one Carrie Stevens pattern well almost all of her other patterns will be yours to tie. - Enjoy.

The Supervisor was created by Joseph S. Stickney. He was not a fly tier himself but very much liked the flies that Carrie Stevens tied and her tie the Supervisor for him. The original did not have the peacock or the jungle cock cheek, they were added later. It is still a very popular today and considered by many in Maine as a staple in anyone's fly wallet. In researching the Supervisor I found a number of different ways the fly is tied, which are mentioned in the video. The most interesting is that some tie the green hackle shoulder only 1/3 the length of the wing and other tie it 2/3 the length of the wing. Just goes to show, there is more than one way to catch a fish! - Enjoy.

I did not know this until I decided to tie this video this week and started to do some research. Unfortunately, I have not learned much more than that. I do not believe they were tied commercially but rather her small way of supporting the troops, especially those she knew that went off to war. The other three flies in this group are the General MacArthur (one I was very close to tying), The America and The Victory. I chose the Casablanca because I think it is a beautiful fly and thought the red, white and blue head would be something different. I did not have a "dark" violet hackle, which is called for flanking the white hackles in the wing but used a medium Violet instead. In researching the fly I discovered many people have tied it with a Claret hackle instead of a dark Violet. Another unique feature of this fly is that the tinsel body is gold but the tinsel tag is silver. It was not often Carrie Stevens used gold tinsel in the body or the tag but even less to use two different colors. I will have to dig a little more to see if I can find out what her reasoning was. I welcome any input anyone might have concerning this fly. The Casablanca was a wonderful fly to tie! - Enjoy If you have any questions about the tying of this fly feel free to let me know in the comments below.

In fact, only two materials change on the Wizard from Allie's Favorite. Can you figure out which ones? If you watch these videos closely you will find that many of the classic Carrie Stevens patterns have many common components but with different materials or colors. Which is nice because if you can tie one of these patterns than you can tie a dozen others by making some simple changes! - Enjoy.

It is the second fly that I will be teaching in an upcoming class at FlyMasters of Indianapolis on Nov. 9th. I chose this fly because it does not require any special (or costly) materials to make as well as it is a good all round basic minnow pattern.

In this case it was Alfred "Allie" French. It was never tied or marketed by Carrie so it is not as well know. It is tied in the classic "style" of Carrie Stevens and it is a fun fly to tie.
