Tying Tuesday is again and prepared for some extra trout-focused goodness! A theme all through the flies I chosen for this week’s submit is the boldness anglers have in them. Tim Cammisa swears by the X-Caddis, the parents at Mainely Flies love the Squiggle, and Higa’s SOS is the definition of a confidence fly. It’s an fascinating idea to consider, in that I reckon we fish higher with flies we’re extra assured in than these we aren’t.
The primary fly is from Tim Cammisa, and it’s his tackle the X-Caddis. Tim thinks the X-Caddis may be the final word “confidence dry fly.” He even says if he needed to choose only a single dry fly to fish with the remainder of his summers, it’d be this fly! Tying it isn’t too complicated, though working with deer hair generally is a problem. Tim walks you thru it, although, and for those who’re like me, you’ll most likely put just a few of those in your field for the upcoming summer time.
Up subsequent is a fly that the parents at Mainely Flies say “breaks the foundations.” I’m undecided if there are any “guidelines” to be damaged in fly tying, however the Squiggle is an fascinating tackle the basic Squirmy Worm. It appears prefer it may be extra sturdy than the usual Squirmy, as nicely.
Wrapping up is a kind of follow-up to a video from our final Tying Tuesday, the place we realized the best way to tie Higa’s SOS. On this video from Fly Fish Meals, Spencer Higa himself offers all the main points on the origin of the SOS. For anybody trying to design their very own flies, there may be some perception right here.
