Final weekend, I used to be fishing the Higher Connecticut River in Pittsburg, New Hampshire, with Invoice Bernhardt of Points North Outfitters, and considered one of our high producing patterns was the Roza’s Pink Pheasant Tail. This acquired me occupied with different pink patterns, and—lo and behold!—a number of such patterns confirmed up on YouTube this week. We kick issues off with a cool stonefly from Jorge G. Huertes of Universal Fly Fishing. It’s a horny little sample that can float properly and be fairly seen on the water. Subsequent up is the aforementioned Roza’s Pink, created by Luboš Roza, a two time Youth Fly Fishing World Champion and World Champion. He’s additionally a Fulling Mill signature tier. I can attest to the sample’s effectiveness, as I caught browns, rainbows, brookies, and landlocked salmon on it—all in the identical day.
The Oops All Berries Leech from Avid Max is called for a taste of Cap’n Crunch breakfast cereal, and it seems to be simply as tasty. The hook-up orientation means you possibly can fish it close to the underside with out concern of snagging. Lastly, anglers who fish the Northeast for stripers and tuna will wish to tie up some Squid Kinky Muddlers by Michael Ozkaya of LIFliesMike. The way in which he ties the primary a part of the sample straight onto 40-pound mono earlier than he even places a hook within the vise in ingenious.
