This week’s Tying Tuesday options 4 patterns of complexity, however right here’s the factor: They’re all really easy to tie, even those that don’t look it. We kick issues off with a cool Balanced Leech variation from Matt Winkler of Umpqua, who walks us by means of the steps to created a white, flashy minnow imitation that can fish nice on the lifeless drift or beneath and indicator. Subsequent up, Brandon from Snake River Fly teaches us to tie a buggy scud/sowbug sample that “has been dang good on the Snake and southern reservoirs” of Idaho. It doesn’t get a lot simpler than Deb Paskall’s attractor/egg imitation, which she calls Deb’s Lil Pink Blob. When nothing else is working in winter, do that gaudy morsel. Lastly, John Genovesi shares a super-simple baitfish sample that’s efficient on false albacore, stripers, bonito, bluefish, mackerel, and even trout, once they’re feeding on alewives.
