This week’s Tying Tuesday options three patterns fished on or close to the floor. We kick issues off with my previous good friend, Rob Streeter, demonstrating his technique for tying a high-floating Fats Albert variant, which can make an amazing indicator fly, beetle imitation, or all-around attractor fly. Subsequent up, Andy from Andy’s Flies walks us by means of a basic North Nation Spider first tied by T.E. Pritt within the late 1800’s. It’s a straightforward tie and appears tremendous buggy. It’s going to absolutely entice trout dead-drifted or on the swing. Lastly, English tier Barry Ord Clarke ties a Midge Emerger within the Klinkhamer fashion. His video is filled with cool methods—reminiscent of repositioning the fly within the vise—that can show you how to tie any parachute sample.
