Tying Tuesday: Lights, Midges, and Streamers

For this week’s Tying Tuesday, we’ve two new fly patterns, and a video about totally different fly tying lights. Selecting up an excellent mild could make an enormous distinction in how lengthy, and successfully, you’re in a position to tie flies. The one I’ve is among the greatest cash I’ve ever spent. After that, you’ll get handled to a pleasant midge sample and a enjoyable streamer!

We begin with this video from Gig Harbor Fly Store, which isn’t a tying tutorial, however a have a look at the very best fly tying lights they’ve used. Getting an excellent mild (I’ve a magnifying glass/mild combo) is without doubt one of the greatest belongings you’ll do on your tying.

Up subsequent is a enjoyable midge sample known as the 5 O’Clock Shadow. That is achieved up by the parents at AvidMax, and I actually like how buggy this fly seems. A number of our midge patterns are typically streamlined and clear, however I believe these shabby-looking ones could be more practical at occasions.

The final fly is a winter steelhead streamer, from Mainely Flies. These steelhead-specific streamers are at all times good for these fish, however I’ve typically discovered they work simply as effectively for “common” trout, too. All of the flash and motion will get the eye of nearly any fish, I reckon.
