It’s the last Thursday of the year and I thought it was appropriate to share a few of my favorite Throw Back Thursday Flies for 2022 on RiverKeeper Flies. I hope you liked them as much as I did!
In case you missed the flies and their stories, just click on the fly’s name to learn more.
Skunk Steelhead Fly and Honoring Frank Moore – honoring Frank Moore – January 2022
Another steelhead fly, Shewey’s Spawning Purple – October 2022.
Sierra Bright Dot – April 2022
Kent’s Pumpkin Head – February 2022
Dette Yellow Stonefly Nymph – March 2022.
Quill wing flies
Old soft hackle flies. There is something about the elegance of these flies with their minimal materials that continues to speak to me.
Pritt’s Water Cricket – January 2022
Lastly, a recent tie…the Beetle Bug Coachman – December 2022.
Here’s looking forward to a safe and prosperous New Year!
Enjoy…go fish, stay safe!
John, I just wanted to say Hi. We are now living in Ellensburg, WA and I drive over the Yakima River every day on my way to check on the house construction. So, naturally I’m looking forward to fishing it. But I want to let you know how much I enjoy your blogs. They are informative and well done.
Happy New Year to you and Karen.
