I ventured back to the vise last week to complete a few fly orders. I’m still recovering from Covid. It’s been 3 weeks now and I feel like I finally turned the corner. But it’s a slow process. The first flies off the vise were an Elk Hair Caddis Variant for a customer in size 8.
These are large flies with a long orange tail, just like the picture I received in an email. I’m guessing they might imitate an October Caddis.
His order is complete and in the mail.
The next fly order I finished today is a favorite hopper fly pattern, Schroeder’s Parachute Hopper.
I tied half a dozen in my standard olive/tan body and another in olive. These are size 12.
That’s it for today’s post. As you can see, I haven’t been doing much in the fishing or tying realm.
I hope it changes soon and I find myself along the bank of my favorite river later this week…I miss it.
Enjoy…go fish!
John, sorry to hear that you caught COVID. Here is hoping for a speedy and complete recovery. Sure do enjoy your blog. You inspire me to try tying a greater variety. You got anything you can share (tutorial) on a dark, small (size 16-18) Caddis we saw on Paulina?
Glad you’re feeling better.
Hi John,
We’re glad you are on the road to recovery. Is Dancing Trout OK? Take care & …
