I have tied trout, bass and pan fish fly patterns for a number of years. In addition to tying traditional fly patterns, I have varied the color, appearance and characteristics of more traditional fly patterns for local use.
My variation of traditional fly patterns is an attempts at mimicking insect likeness and colors - I feel - are more common to our local area.
In talking with local fishermen, I may not always have an example of a pattern on hand.
Thus, with the creation of a Web Page, I'm better able to share my thoughts on fly patterns and fly tying techniques.
Displayed are a couple of "boards" showing variations of traditional and other fly patterns.
Also, each fly pattern shown is linked to a larger more detailed image.
Although the Web Page is in its infancy, you may find some of the patterns I have selected of interest and would encourage others to experiment with variations of traditional fly patterns on their own.
I will continue to select and add additional photos from time to time.
Although the selection of fly patters shown to the right (Board#1) I typically used for Bass, I've found them productive - near the middle of the day- at catching the occasional Brown Trout
To continue, Board #2 is a display of fly patterns I tipically use in late Spring and early Summer. Also, during the 1st part of Summer, I use fly patterns tied on larger hook sizes (#8 - #12).
Again I have selected patterns of both traditional and less traditional fly patterns.
