Very nice. Ever tie a Clark's Golden Stone, dry? There is a large, heavily weighted Golden Stone nymph called a Beldar. Used quite a bit here in Central Oregon. It alo can be tied in black.
Hi Jim! Do you have a fly recommendation to learn? I just got all the equipment I need to start, I've never tied a fly before. I mainly fish freshwater lakes for kokanee and trout. Great job and content. I appreciate your work.
Thanks ... I would say for dry flies the Griffiths gnat is the first one size 14 to 18. Then an adams, Blue wing olive and deer hair caddis or elk hair. Nymphs Pheasant tail, hare's ear, caddis larva and pupa. Just a few to get you started. You can find these in my Playlist Beginner fly tying.
