This week’s Tying Tuesday options 4 easy patterns for catching trout or bonefish this winter. We kick issues off with a coll upside-down Baetis jig sample from Travis at Bearded Trout’s Flies. I’m undecided why he known as it a “balanced” fly, because it’s a fundamental jig nymph, however it is going to certainly draw strikes from trout holding close to the underside. Subsequent up is a cool blue streamer from Savage Flies, which must be efficient stripped slowly or dead-drifted. Tim Flagler serves up a double-egg fly that you would be able to tie in below a minute, if you happen to’ve ready your supplies and instruments. Lastly, Collin Morrill of Strike-Zone Fly Fishing demonstrates a shrimp sample that appears far more sophisticated than it’s.
