Tying Tuesday: Easy Subsurface Flies

This week’s Tying Tuesday options three patterns for very completely different functions, however all of them share one profit: they’re simple to tie. We kick issues off with a chic March Brown Gentle Hackle from Barry Ord Clarke, who walks you thru the steps to make sure that you’ve created a sturdy imitation that has loads of motion within the water. Subsequent up, a pleasant AI voice demonstrates a fair less complicated method to tie a Woolly Bugger, substituting a brand new materials, Fasna Halo Straggle, for the usual chenille-and-palmered-hackle physique of the unique sample. Lastly, we don’t put up many panfish flies, however this buggy damsel by my previous buddy Rob Streeter appears like an actual winner.
