<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This Bead Head Nymph Pattern is a true trout slayer. The Red Prince is my favorite Nymph to use when I float the Colorado River. This fly is an awesome attractor pattern and it will draw bites from fish when others won't. I tied this Red Prince in size #12, but I have used it bigger and smaller with great success.</div>

The Red Prince Nymph is one of my all time favorite nymphs to use, I always seem to be running low on them... until I tie my next dozen. I would invite you to fish with me on the Colorado River and see what I have learned about this fly. Float trips are a short drive from Aspen, CO and the fishing is out of this world, you will be impressed! Go to <a href="http://www.aspenflyfishing.com/">http://www.aspenflyfishing.com</a> and book a couple days of incredible fishing.</div>

The Zonker Fly has been around for a long time. This deadly Streamer Pattern has caught many fish over the years and I can imagine it will remain a top fly for the rest of time. Casting a white streamer is like casting a "Tracer Fly", you can watch the fish chase it down and wolf it. This White Zonker is tied with lead wire to make it heavier, but I have tied this fly many ways with great success.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Zonker flies always get bites and it makes sense to use a strong streamer hook that can take the action. For this fly used a size #2 long shank streamer hook with a straight eye.<b><br /></b></span><br />

Add a strip of white rabbit fur. tie in the middle of the strip. After you tie off the rabbit,whip finish at this point and cut the thread.<br />

Fly fishing with streamers is one of the most fun things you can do. You will have trouble finding better fishing than on the Roaring Fork River and Colorado River. Consider booking a guided fishing trip on your vacation to the Colorado Rockies, you will be impressed. Go to <a href="http://www.aspenflyfishing.com/">http://www.aspenflyfishing.com</a></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The H and L Variant is one of the great dry fly attractor patterns. This highly visible dry fly floats well, can be seen well in low light conditions and trout eat the heck out of it. I like to use a size #10, #12, or #14 when tying this fly. I find that an H and L works best in fast rivers when there are lots of caddis and mayflies hatching, or anywhere on the Frying Pan River.</div>

Stack the tips of a clump of calf body fur and tie them in, tips forward for the wing of the fly.<br />

Now part the calf body fur and separate the wings with thread. I use a figure 8 wrap and often a few wraps around each wing. Be sure not to use too much thread. Here is a view from the top of the top.<br />

Dry Fly fishing in Colorado is fantastic, especially around the Aspen area. The rivers here are full of hungry trout that love to eat dries. The best time of year to catch fish on dry flies is July, August and September. If you would like to experience what dry fly fishing should be, go to <a href="http://www.aspenflyfishing.com/">http://www.aspenflyfishing.com</a> and book a guided float trip.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Prince Nymph is the most popular nymph I know, add a Bead Head to this fly and trout beware. This best in class Bead Head Nymph Pattern can be tied in many sizes, but this fly works best in size #12, #14 and #16. The best time to use the Bead Head Prince Nymph, is right when you get to the water. </div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Very few fish can resist a Prince Nymph drifting buy. I suggest using a strong nymph hook like a Tiemco 3761. This fly can be tied in many sizes, the most popular are #10, #12, #14, and #16.</span><br />

Bead Head Prince Nymphs work well in the Colorado Rockies, especially on the Roaring Fork River and Colorado River. I use this fly throughout the season and consider it a standard for catching many trout. If you would like to take a guided float trip on one of the rivers mentioned here, contact <a href="http://www.aspenflyfishing.com/">http://www.aspenflyfishing.com</a> and get your catch on!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sculpin Minnows are a common food source for trout in fast moving western rivers. This Cone Head Sculpin Streamer Fly is tied to imitate a small minnow that is being scared off the bank. The best thing about fly fishing with Sculpin Patterns is that more often then not, the big trout are the ones that eat it.</div>

Fly fishing with sculpin minnow imitations is one of the many ways to catch big trout in Colorado. The best fishing in the state is around Aspen on the Roaring Fork, Frying Pan, and Colorado Rivers. If you would like a guided fishing trip in the Aspen area, go to <a href="http://www.aspenflyfishing.com/">http://www.aspenflyfishing.com</a> and book a top fishing guide.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The classic Lime Trude is one of my favorite Summer dry flies. This Hi-Vis dry fly pattern is as easy to tie as it is to fish with. I fish this fly during the Caddis Hatch, especially during the evening lightning round. The Lime Trude is a time tested trout catcher.</div>

I expect the dry flies I am casting to get hammered by fish mouths. I suggest using a strong dry fly hook for this attractor pattern.<br />

This dry fly requires the use of strong thread to bind the wing and other materials to the hook. Pick a strong thread that will not break easily as you tie with it.</div>

For the hackle of this Lime Trude I like to use a stout brown saddle hackle. Using saddle hackles ensures a high floating, durable dry fly that can take bite after bite.<br />

The wing of this fly is tied with Calf Body Fur. This feature of the fly makes it easy to see and remains quite buoyant for the life of the fly.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not quite sure if Egg Sucking Leeches actually occur in the wild, but I am positive that fish love to eat them. This killer Streamer Pattern works well on rivers like the Big Horn, the Missouri and the Colorado. I like to fish with Egg Sucking Leeches in the Spring and Fall when the water is cold and the trout are active. I have tied this streamer fly with purple, black, olive and brown.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Mickey Finn is great streamer for fishing rivers with fast water like the Roaring Fork in Colorado. This little minnow imitation may look like a little brown trout or perhaps a sculpin in the Fall. I like to fish a Mickey Finn as a dropper fly and move it through the water pretty quickly.</div>

This streamer pattern calls for a long shank hook. I usually pick a Daiichi 2341 in sizes 2-8.</div>

I chose to use dark brown thread for this particular fly. I would suggest using a few different colors to see if the fish bite more often.</div>

Add a stretch of Flat Silver Tinsel. Be sure to use as few good wraps with the thread as you need to avoid a bulky look later in the fly.<br />

The wild rivers in the Colorado Rockies are packed with hungry, streamer eating trout. Fishing with flies like a Mickey Finn can be very productive.

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Little white bait fish are all over the ocean. Just about every game fish eats them. This Saltwater Pattern is tied to imitate a Little White Bait Fish. I have experimented with this fly and tied it with weighted eyes, reflective eyes, and even floating eyes. No matter how you fish it, this White Bait Saltwater Fly draws strikes.<br />

Super glue is a common tool on the desk of many fly tyers. I use super glue frequently on my saltwater flies.</div>

Finally, I used epoxy to build a small head on this White Bait Fly. I find that after a little practice, I can use 60 sec. epoxy so that I don't have to wait for the 5 min. epoxy to set up.</div>

Start a saltwater hook with strong thread.<br />

Add a clump of synthetic fibers from about the midpoint of the shank of the hook.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Whip finish a couple times and trim the thread.<br />

Now add stick-on eyes to both sides.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFbNFYBwKt5i6PZMWXjvHdWaVabKShgE04D5Ly-_uccaLugj3pB-b2F4Y1WwDONEoEy8fYQOhh9-EjOkps_8jecdTFtQM9H8JgxY6A08Ci1ztTZm4jQbZD1ZaNpPw2StnOVp69oCLNY1KC/s1600/ep+style+fly+030.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFbNFYBwKt5i6PZMWXjvHdWaVabKShgE04D5Ly-_uccaLugj3pB-b2F4Y1WwDONEoEy8fYQOhh9-EjOkps_8jecdTFtQM9H8JgxY6A08Ci1ztTZm4jQbZD1ZaNpPw2StnOVp69oCLNY1KC/s200/ep+style+fly+030.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>
Use a bit of Super Glue to set the eyes and lock the fibers in place. I like to pull the fiber back while the glue is setting to give the fly a swept back profile.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Be sure to cover the eyes and thread. Consider keeping the gap of the hook as open as possible.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Pale Morning Dun Hatch is among the best of mayflies that hatch throughout the year. This big, clumsy, yellow mayfly is easily imitated at all stages. This particular PMD pattern is tied to imitate an emerger that has been washed under. I like to use a bead in the middle of this little nymph pattern, but dubbing works very well and helps keep this fly out of the rocks and moss. The Halfback PMD Nymph can be sized to match the hatch and it is still a big enough bite that trout will not let it pass by.</div>

This hatch can be fished best from a drift boat with both nymphs and dries.

This large Mayfly hatches during months June, July and August in the Colorado Rockies. During the Hatch, Green Drake Nymphs are most active and trout key in on them. This Bead Head Nymph pattern is easy to tie, and you may want to tie quite a few, I use two at a time!<br />

This popular fly pattern is definitely among best flies of all time. Trout will eat a BeadHead Pheasant Tail Nymph in every season. This bead head pattern can be made to imitate every color and size of mayfly nymph that exists. I often use different colors of thread or copper ribbing to add contrast.</div>

I use quite a few Bead Head Pheasant Tails throughout the year. One thing I know is you would be smart to tie this fly on a strong hook, it will get tested. I prefer using a Tiemco 3761, sizes #20 - #16 for the majority of my pheasant tails.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">The Royal Wulff Dry Fly is the greatest of the Attractor Dry Fly Patterns. This high floating dry fly is easy to see, not too difficult to tie with a little bit of practice, and trout eat the heck out of it. I like to use a Royal Wulff when I fish out of the boat on the Roaring Fork River near Aspen, CO.</span></div>

The Royal Wulff is one of the greatest dry fly patterns of all time. This high floating, easily visible attractor pattern works best on fast moving rivers with pockets and rocks like the Roaring Fork River coming out of Aspen, CO. If you would like to fish the Roaring Fork from top to bottom, contact the fishing guides at <a href="http://www.aspenflyfishing.com/" target="_blank">Aspen Fly Fishing, http://www.aspenflyfishing.com</a></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Caddis Flies at any life cycle are perhaps the most important food source in the rivers and lakes where they live. This Green Caddis Larva Nymph is one of my favorite Nymph Patterns to fish with. Here in Colorado, the Caddis Hatch is thick and lasts from Spring to Fall. For Fly Fisherman, using Caddis Patterns is a sure way to catch trout. </div>

For this Caddis Nymph Pattern I prefer to use a Tiemco 3761 size #16 or #14. I have used other hooks and sizes, this is what I seem to always come back to.</div>

The body of this Caddis Pattern is tied with half round Vinyl Rib. I like to use green and yellow to imitate what is in the river.</div>

Green Caddis Larva work on trout all year and can be especially effective in the Late Summer and Fall. If you would like to hire a fishing guide in Colorado, it is tough to beat the fishing and the guides of the Roaring Fork River Valley. Aspen Fly Fishing provides top guides for wade fishing and float fishing near Aspen, CO. Go to <a href="http://www.aspenflyfishing.com/">http://www.aspenflyfishing.com</a> for year round guides.</div>

Midge Patterns like this Adult Midge Nymph are the best flies to use during a Colorado Winter. This little bug exists everywhere and trout have to eat them to survive in the icy cold water. This particular midge pattern is tied to imitate a midge that has been washed under.<br />

Add a stretch of fine gold tinsel<br />

Wrap the thread back to the top of the bend over the tinsel. You may want to build up the body with one or two extra passes up and down the shank of the hook with the thread.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This Elk Hair Caddis Pattern is the best caddis dry fly I know. It floats, you can see it, you can skitter it, it is durable and the trout eat it as soon as they see it. Caddis flies hatch throughout the Spring, Summer and Fall and are one of the most important food sources for growing trout. This particular dry fly pattern is perhaps the only caddis dry fly you need.<br />

The dry fly fishing on the Roaring Fork River near Aspen, Colorado, is the best dry fly fishing in the state. Float trips on the Roaring Fork range from Upper Woody Creek down to Glenwood Springs. If pitching little caddis dries up to the bank and catching all kinds of fish is your game, you need to fish here. Go to <a href="http://www.aspenflyfishing.com/"><b>http://www.aspenflyfishing.com</b></a> for booking and information.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The Wooly Bugger is perhaps the most popular streamer pattern. Wooly Bugger Flies are a great imitations of nervous bait fish and swimming nymphs. This particular Olive Wooly Bugger Fly is tied with lead wire to make it sink faster. Personally, my favorite fish to cast a Wooly Bugger at is carp.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
For all of my Wooly Buggers I make sure to use strong hooks. For this particular fly I chose to use a straight eye, size #2 streamer hook. Wooly Buggers are most often tied in sizes #8, #6, #4, #2.<br />

Using strong thread for all of your

quite a bit of abuse. I suggest Danville's Waxed FlyMaster Plus.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This deadly <span style="font-size: small;">cone head</span> streamer is perfect for fishing the rivers in Colorado and Montana. It could be the yellow/brown combo or the wiggly legs, but whatever it is, trout love to eat it. This fly is tied with weight and works best when fished near the bottom. Autumn Splendors can be used to imitate bait fish, crawdads, and probably a few different kinds of insects.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I use a very strong streamer hook when I tie an Autumn Splendor. Though for this fly I chose to use a straight eye hook, I believe most streamer hooks, size #2, #4, or #6 will work just fine.</div>

The Autumn Splendor Streamer fly is a very good fly to use in the Fall and Spring for trout. If you would like to experience some of the greatest trout fishing in the country, consider fly fishing in the Roaring Fork River Valley. The Roaring Fork River and Colorado River are packed with fish and eager to eat streamer flies. Go to <a href="http://wwwaspenflyfishing.com/">http://wwwaspenflyfishing.com</a> for information and year round guiding on Colorado's greatest rivers.<br />

This perfect little nymph is the imitation of every mayfly that ever lived. This fly can be tied big or small and colored to match the hatch. No trout in his right mind can let this tasty bite pass by!</div>

I suggest using a strong hook for tying a Hair's Ear Nymph. I prefer the Tiemco 3761 for all my nymph flies.<br />

Any dark thread will work for tying this nymph pattern. I suggest using a medium strength thread, like brown 3/0 or 6/0.<br />

I like to use copper wire for ribbing on all of my nymphs. You can use any color rib for the Hair's Ear, I usually go with red, copper or gold. I also suggest using small or extra small wire.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">The dubbing used for this fly is primarily made from a hair's mask and is thickened with a blend of died brown body hair. Hair's ear dubbing can be colored to match the hatch.</span><br />

The rivers in Colorado are loaded with bugs that look like the Hair's Ear Nymph. Trout can't help themselves when they get the chance to eat this fly. If you are interested in catching all kinds of fish with Hair's Ears, consider fly fishing around Aspen, CO.

<span style="font-size: small;">T</span>he Adam's Dry Fly is a great imitation of almost every adult mayfly. This well known pattern is a must for serious anglers in every mayfly hatch. My father always told me, "No brown trout in the world can resist a Size 20 Adam's..."<br />

The Adam's Dry Fly uses brown hackle in the tail and the hackle of the fly. I like to use saddle hackle because the feathers are dense and stout.</div>

I find that I catch more fish during the worm hatch when I use a weed guard on my Palolo Worm Flies. I simply use 15 lb. or 20 lb. flouro or mono for my weed guard.<br />

<br /><span style="font-size: 85%;">This Great Bonefish Fly works like a charm in every bonefish situation I have been in. I have tied this fly big and small, with more or less weight, and I have experimented with a few colors. This Bonefish Pattern is very easy to tie, uses less materials than many other bonefish flies and the fish will bite it.</span><span style="font-size: 85%; font-style: italic;"><br /></span></div>

<br /><span style="font-size: 180%;"><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Catching sharks is some of the <span style="font-size: small;">most e<span style="font-size: small;">xciting</span></span> big fish fun an angler can have. Catching sharks<span style="font-size: small;"> with flies</span> is a true challenge of accuracy, anticipation and a little luck. This Big Red Shark Fly is tied to imitate a tasty morsel of flesh and blood<span style="font-size: small;">. It </span>can be tied bigger or smaller and with different colors if<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>needed. I find that <span style="font-size: small;">red, white and yellow seem to work best for the sharks in the Florida Keys.</span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Esox Lucious, a Latin name that well describes one of my favorite toothy fish to catch. Big pike are incredible sport on fly, and because of the savage nature of this fish, pike flies have to be tied well. I like to use this Black and Chartreuse Pike Fly in stained or muddy water.</span><br />
