Bug Lite (Callibaetis Emerger)
This was designed for the callibaetis hatch on Lewiston Lake
in California. Put floatant on the deer hair wing case and post, and do not forget to
dress your leader. This is a terrific callibaetis emerger fished in the film with its body
hanging down.
Compara-Dun Cream -- Most accurate imitation of
an adult mayfly when viewed from below the surface. Best fished on smooth flowing or still
waters. Not well suited to turbulent waters.
no photo Gulper Special --Named after the sound trout makewhen they gobble up massed midges. hackle so it hangs vertically in the water.
Ginger
Quill -- The quill body gives a slim profile and it is our only brown classic
mayfly tie, for the spring time March Brown hatch. Sparce dress allows you to match some
smaller mayfly hatches with a slightly larger size than you might expect.
Green Drake Emerger -- Green Drake Emerger- Pre wet the body
and tail on this cripple/ emerger (saliva works well). Use a paste floatant only on
the hackle and post. This insect is large, use a #10 Royal Wulff for the dry. Late
spring emergence from bottom that's slow-flowing with mud and marl to shelter they nymphal
stages.
Light
Cahill: A classic like the Olives and Duns, for off-white to medium
hatches, it also works as a Pale Morning Dun.
Light Cahill, Parachute
-- -- Flatwater version of the
fly above. It's a nice choice for dainty deliveries on near flat water, and you can
see the post wing easily even in low light.
Green Humpy -- This fly series was designed to float like
a cork. Humpy patterns sport extra winds of hackle and lots of buoyant deer hair
and a nice bright white wing you can see.. One of the top ten mayflies. A must for the
rough water fly fisher.
Royal
Humpy -More floatation for lumpy "humpy water." This seems an
excellent attractor pattern in most applications. Easy to see in low light conditions.
Humpy, Yellow -- Nice mayfly imitation that can serve
for Yellow Sally hatches and others. Floats wonderfully well too.
