Success from the Guides' Choice Hares Ear tonight. Amazed how well a sz 14 klink works as an indicator and can easily float a weighted & beaded sz 16 nymph.

This was the first year I tied klinkhammers for my dry box.
Glad to find that they work!

First trout of the year, on a brook I hadn't fished before today. 15 days earlier than my first trout last year. Took a sz 14 prince nymph tied this winter.

Stepping out of my comfort zone to spin some deer hair for bass flies. This is as close as I have come so far to a presentable Taps Bug

Oof. Last year's mess. Technically I have enough newly tied flies that I don't need any of these 🤔

These sparkle pupae 'bubbles' are really annoying me. Difficult to get right. But the quest to figure it out makes it easy to tie a dozen #flytying #flyfishing

First stimulator where I've got the proportions right and fit everything on the hook. Now I just need to size the rear hackle correctly and I'm almost there

In NYC, ended up in a store that ONLY sells cuff links. Yes, they had a #flyfishing / #flytying selection

Messing with ideas to get the leg 'effect' on hoppers/chubbies without rubber legs. This was a sloppy concept tie, but what does everyone think of the use of soft hackle? Does make it hard to hide the foam/wing tie down points but that can be worked on #flytying

First attempt at a Rosenhopper. Didn't bother with the knotted legs. Needs a bushier front wing next time #flytying #flyfishing

Here's my rubber legs trick when you need two sets on a fly. Essentially, just use one long piece on each side and then split when you trim everything up. A little easier for me than dealing with 4 different strands #flytying #flyfishing

Chubby Chernobyl, size 12. Working with rubber legs gives me a headache, but I think I found a hack to make 2 sets on a fly less unruly #flytying #flyfishing

2nd attempt at the rabbits foot emerger. You can see the CDC a bit better here since I scaled back the wing size. #flytying #flyfishing

Rosenbauer's rabbit foot emerger. First time working with snowshoe rabbit foot. Not my best tie but very buggy!
