X-Mas flies
Used some quiet hours for some tying of nymphs for my fishing in the next year.
Materials:
- Maruto C47 BL #14
- Small tungsten beads in copper and black nickel
- Coq de Leon for the tails
- Copper wire and mono for the ribbing
- Pheasant for the abdomen
- Peacock dubbing brown for the thorax
- Pheasant for the wing case
- Partridge for the legs
- Bug Bond Lite to secure the wing case and the thread
Olive Sculpins
Four olive sculpins # 6 weighted with a tungsten bead in the front and again is the head secured with Bug Bond Lite.
Not many materials are used for this sculpin pattern:
- Hook: Gamakatsu F 314 # 6
- Weight: Black Tungsten Bead
- Ribbing: Mono:
- Dubbing: Olive-Brown with some Ice Dubbung
- Zonker: Black Barred Olive
- Deer Hair: Olive/Black/Brown
- Eyes: 3-D Eyes
- Resin: Bug Bond Lite
Sculpins
Little sculpins #6 weighted with a tungsten head in the front. The deer hair head is secured with Bug Bond Lite to make it indestructible. I always liked this pattern und and I will always do, because I caught some really nice trouts with it. No matter, if you fish them upstream, in the swing or stripping them in, trouts love ‚em.
It takes a bit to cut the head and it’s always a mess on your tying table, but it’s worth it. At least for me it is. ;-)
Easy Nymph Step By Step Without Words
Bread and Butter
Good things are often very simple. Like these small nymphs tied on a short shank hook. The body length without the bead is 5mm. Even this are small nymphs, the hook gap is pretty big, so the hooking quality is still good. You can fish the nymphs very deep and you don’t have to be afraid of loosing them, because if you do so, you can tie some new ones in a short time.
Curved Emerger
CDC-Ballon-Emerger # 16
A really good fishing fly. Superb for very „well educated“ fish!
Zonker Streamer
Three Zonker Streamer # 6. A hook, small Fish Skull, mono for ribbing, dubbing, zonker, some marabou and thread. You don’t need more for a good streamer with awesome movement in the water. You can fish it down and dirty where the big fish are and you don’t have to be afraid to loose your precious streamer, because you can tie some new – easy like 1-2-3….almost ;-) 
Playing With Colors
From time to time, I love to tie tube flies. Here, you can be very creative and play with colors. This tube got four wings (red, yellow, blue and black) and is weighted in the body. It’s not a show fly, it’s a real fishing fly. The head is made with Bug Bond. 
Sparkle Mayfly
Sparkle Mayfly. Wings are two colors of CDC (natural and white from Trout Line) with a few strands of very thin flash. There’s a little sparkle in the wings. It’s hard to show that on the picture, in reality, it’s looks very posh! Thorax is normal dubbing, wingcase is made from pheasant and the body is made with Polish Quills, secured with Bug Bond. Tails are synthetic Mayfly Tails. For the hook I’ve used a D23BL # 14 from Trout Line.
Caddis Pupa with Tungsten Bead
This is a little Caddis Pupa weighted with a tungsten bead as a head. The abdomen is made with thread, green Polish Quills and Bug Bond uv resin. Pheasant as wing case, also secured with Bug Bond, dubbing and some fibres from a partridge feather as legs. Very simple, but a good fishing fly.
