Tying Tuesday: Attractors and Stones

This week’s Tying Tuesday options three efficient patterns with loads of shade and motion. We kick issues off witha vibrant egg-laying caddisfly imitation from, appropriately sufficient, Caddis Fly Shop in Eugene, Oregon. It’s a high-floating, extremely seen imitation that may work effectively alone or with a dropper. Subsequent up is a cool hopper sample from Lucy, a business fly tier from Nairobi, Kenya. It’s cool to see how a manufacturing tier places a sample collectively. Lastly, probably the greatest year-round nymphs is a stonefly imitation, and this micro model  from Fischer’s Flies must be particularly helpful over the subsequent few months.
