Sizes: 12 - 16
The AP Turkey Tail uses the same wild turkey tail feather segment for the tail, abdomen, wingcase, and legs of the nymph. The use mottled feathers such as turkey tail creates a nice overall look and is a close match to many naturals.

Barr's Emerger

Click Picture to Enlarge
Sizes: 16 - 22
Colors: Olive, Pale Morning Dun
The Barr's Emerger is another pattern that can act as both a BWO and a PMD. The reason is due to the fact that these insects are available to the trout for extended periods of time throughout the season. This is one fly I wouldn't want to be without while fishing.

Barr's Pure Midge Larva

Sizes: 2 - 12
Colors: Orange, Yellow
The Bitch Creek Nymph is an old standby pattern for many anglers. Most say that it is a stonefly nymph imitation, but others use it as a searching or attractor pattern. I tie this pattern with the Tiger Weave, which I think makes it slightly different from flies the fish may have already seen.

Click Picture to Enlarge
Sizes: 18 - 22
Colors: Brown, Black, Gray, Olive, and Pale Olive
The Black Beauty is another great midge pattern that imitates a midge pupa for difficult western tailwaters and spring creeks. This has become a standard pattern throughout the Rocky Mountains. Midge patterns can be particularly effective in the winter months, because they remain active in extremely cold temperatures while other insects are more dormant. The addition of the metal bead head gets it down deeper and faster. Other variations are a black glass bead, a Mercury Bead, and Flash Back on the top of the fly. Black Beauty's don't have to be black. This is a style of fly that can be many colors.

BLM (Beaded Little Mayfly)

Click Picture to Enlarge
Sizes: 14 - 18
Colors: Olive, Peacock/Pearl, Black, Red, Gold
Developed by Tim Heng, manager of Taylor Creek Fly Shop, the BLM (Beaded Little Mayfly) is one of the most effective little mayfly/midge imitations ever. This is a deadly fly tied with a thorax style bead with just the right amount of material. A great early and late in the season fly. Flyfisherman Magazine awarded the fly of the year in 2002 to the BLM.

Bead Head Buckskin
BHBuckSkin.jpg
Click Picture to Enlarge
Sizes: 14 - 22
Colorado angler, Ed Marsh invented the Buckskin in the early 1970's. The Buckskin imitates an assortment of larvae from maggots to midges. The Buckskin also imitates both cased and free living caddis in larger sizes. Use the Buckskin as an "attractor" and fish another small midge or mayfly behind it.

Caddis Larva
CaddisLarva-S.jpg
Click Picture to Enlarge
Sizes: 10 - 16
Colors: Green, Tan
The Caddis Larva represents food sources trout in most rivers see 365 days of the year. Larva patterns mimic the early, free-living immature forms of the insect and are designed to be fished close to the bottom.

Caddis Pupa
CaddisPupa-S.jpg
Click Picture to Enlarge
Sizes: 14 - 18
During a caddis hatch, pupa rise from the substrate to the surface. Some drift along the bottom for many yards before they rise. This is a productive pattern during the earliest stages of the hatch. It can be fished close to the bottom very much like caddis larva and other nymphs. These flies can be fished down and across the current, under light tension to simulate the pupa rising to the surface.

Copper John
Copper_John-S.jpg

Sizes: 10 - 18
Colors: Copper, Amber, Black, Blue, Copper Brown, Green, Olive, Red, Silver, Wine, and Zebra
One of my "Go-To" flies. The Copper John gets down quickly to where the fish are. Yet it also maintains an enticing profile that seems to imitate a wide variety of insects. The only hard thing to do is choose which color Copper John to use.

Colors: Black, Brown, Chartreuse, Fire Orange, Gray, Olive, Pale Olive, Purple, Red, and Tan
Johnny Gomez designed this fly for the San Juan River in New Mexico in the late 1990's after the Desert Storm operations in Iraq. His color for the San Juan was Fire Orange, but it works in any color that midges are seen in.

Deep Blue Poison Tung

Colors: Hare's Ear (Natural), Dark Hare's Ear, Rusty Orange, Insect Green, Black, Reddish Brown, Dark Olive, Tan, Chocolate Brown, Gold, Olive Brown, and Olive Hare's Ear
The Gold-Ribbed Hare's Ear is one of the best nymph patterns of all time. The GRHE is an impressionistic fly that imitates a number of different aquatic insects, so no matter what bugs are active it will usually produce fish. A must have for your fly box. The GRHE with a Flash Back for the wing case adds some attraction to this great fly.

Graphic Caddis
GraphicCaddis-S.jpg
Click Picture to Enlarge
Sizes: 14 - 18
The Graphic Caddis was developed to mimic the emerging caddis pupae, as it swims from the river bottom to the surface. There has been a lot of talk about the air bubble carried by caddis pupae these days, and this fly has a tag of holographic flash at the back of this fly to show this.

Green Weenie

Click Picture to Enlarge
Sizes: 14 - 22
Colors: Black, Blue/Black, Chartreuse, Copper, Fuchsia, Gold, Green, Purple, Red, and Silver
This is a pattern that I came up with a few summers ago. It is a very good beatis fly. Black, Blue/Black, and Green work well for Beatis and a red is a good Red Quill nymph. Gold and silver are great attractor colors. Look for this fly in the July/August 2008 issue of the Northwest Flyfishing magazine in the "Guide Flies" section (page 28).

Holo-Stone

This is another fly that I came up with similar to the Holo-Baetis. I tie this in black or gold. Fish it upstream close to the bottom or under a Stimulator as a dropper.

Hot Glue Egg

Click Picture to Enlarge
Size: 10
Hot Glue eggs work magnificently for trout, especially in turbid or off-colored water. Many anglers who fish tail water fisheries turn to egg patterns when the dam is releasing water. Egg flies are also remarkably effective for timid trout in spring creeks. For many anglers, an egg is their “go to” pattern when the fishing is slow.

Ice Nymph

Sizes: 14 - 22
Colors: Black, Blue/Black, Chartreuse, Copper, Gold, Green, Purple, Red, and Silver
Gold or silver are great attractor colors. Black and green work well for Beatis and red is a good Red Quill nymph.

Fish this emerger with a greased leader so that the fly is just a few inches under the surface.

Lightning Bug
LightningBug_S.jpg
Click Picture to Enlarge
Sizes: 12 - 18
This fly is a very effective all purpose nymph in both tail waters and freestone streams. Larry Graham, a Montana guide, developed the fly and had an article about the fly in the Spring 1998 issue of Fly Tying. This fly has found its place in many "Go-To" fly boxes. The Lightning Bug's flash and shaggy look works well as either a mayfly or caddis emerger. Drop it off a dry fly or hopper, swing it in riffles, or trail it behind a Woolly Bugger. Tied correctly, this is a very durable fly, which is how I like my flies.

March Brown Biot Bug
MarchBrownBiotBug-S.jpg

Sizes: 14 - 20
A beatis nymph imitation. A traditional dead-drift presentation is a good fishing technique, but a swing at the end of the drift can entice a fish into chasing the fly.

Mercury Mayflies

The Prince Nymph is a "Must Have" fly in any fly fisher's flybox. The Prince Nymph was made popular by Doug Prince of Monterey, CA from whom it gets its' name. It is a great searching pattern and can be used to imitate Stoneflies and Caddis nymphs. Peacock body flies have long been a favorite of flyfishers. Since Peacock herl is very fragile, I use a dubbing loop on the herl so that it becomes almost bullet-proof. I want my flies to last for more than one fish.

Sometimes, you never know when or where an idea for a fly will hit you. I was in a Bead Shop with my wife, where she was buying beads and wire for the jewelry she makes, and I came across these little orange beads. I knew these would be great on a little midge pattern. Tied some up and went on a "field test". The results say that the trout approved this fly.

Rainbow Warrior

This pattern imitates freshwater scud and sow bugs, often found in Western tail-water fisheries and spring creeks. Imitating a Sowbug, the Ray Charles can be tied in a variety of colors. Pink, tan, gray, olive, and white are all good colors for the ostrich herl, while the pearl flashback and red thread remain a constant.

Rojo's Midge

RS-2 is short for Rim's Semblance 2. It was invented by Rim Chung some 30 years ago, and while it has remained quietly in the background while more famous flies are used by legions of anglers, it has caught many, many fish. It is a great fly for heavily fished areas for just this reason. The RS-2 has several variations with sparkle wings and a Mercury bead.

Rubber Boatman

Sizes: 12 - 16
Most anglers ignore Water Boatman and Backswimmers. During the fall and winter months, these bugs are more abundant than some of the other food sources that most flyfishers focus on. Water Boatman are usually found within three to four feet of the surface and fairly close to shore. That's where you need to fish this fly.

San Juan Worm
SanJuanWorm-S.jpg
Click Picture to Enlarge
Sizes 12 - 16
Colors: Tan, Olive, Hot Pink, Red, Blood Red, Wine, Worm Brown, Orange, and Purple
Some people consider this a controversial fly, mostly because it has the word "worm" in its name. Rivers do have populations of aquatic worms. They are generally one inch to two inches long and live in the riverbed itself. They look very much like earthworms or miniature nightcrawlers.

Pregnant San Juan Worm

The Shop Vac was developed by Rowen Nyman who worked for Craig Matthews at Blue Ribbon Flies in West Yellowstone, MT. Some say this fly vacuums trout from a river.

The Sparkle Caddis Pupae imitates the caddis fly pupa as it has just emerged from its puparium and is drifting along the river bed. This can be a very effective searching pattern any time of the spring and summer. This is usually fished dead drift; however, it can be deadly when fished with a Leisenring lift or when jigged through deep pockets.

String Thing

A Zebra Midge can be an absolutely devastatingly attractive nymph in slow and medium flow trout fisheries. The Zebra Midge is a nymph that imitates midge pupae and/or emerging midges and is most effective when fish are actively feeding on emerging midges. You will see the fish rolling in light current as they take midge pupae they catch struggling toward the surface.
