This week’s post will highlight a few flies coming off my vise AND include a comment about how to fish them. I hope it will help you determine what flies to include in your fly box when we can start fishing again. I recognize not all readers of my RiverKeeper Flies weekly posts tie flies….
This week’s Throw Back Thursday Fly is Ray Bergman’s Beauty. This fly was tied by my friend Jim Fisher, the 2011 Stan Walters Memorial Tyer of the Year from the Oregon Council of Fly Fisher’s International. I recently spent a few hours with him for a tutorial on selecting materials and techniques used to tie…
This week’s Throw Back Thursday Fly is Ray Bergman’s Saltoun wet fly. The Saltoun is a Ray Bergman dry fly listed in his book entitled Trout (1940 – fourth printing) on page 222, Plate No. 8.

I asked the guys working behind the counter if they could point out a few flies Mike developed. I purchased several of…
This week’s Throw Back Thursday Fly is the Ray Bergman Irish Turkey. I haven’t posted a Ray Bergman wet fly in awhile. I returned from our fly fishing road trip to Montana last week and needed to get back to fly tying, so I thought a quick wet fly would be nice to tie.
This week’s Throw Back Thursday Fly is the Ray Bergman Dark Spinner. The Ray Bergman Dark Spinner is a wet fly listed in his book entitled Trout (1940 – fourth printing) on page 38, Plate No. 2. I usually tie just one fly for my TBT posts. I’m not trying to make them perfect, just…
