Brown Bugs
That simplicity thing...a hook with some brown thread and some peacock along with a feather. About as effective a fly for me in the last week or so on the Farmington. I'm not a hatch specialist and could not tell you what this emerger represents and frankly I don't really care. What I do know is that it works. The two patterns here are tied on curved hooks Sakasa Kebari style but I have a feeling they would be just as effective on a standard hook. The first fly has a wing from a grouse.
This fly uses a thorax of opossum and a feather from a hen pheasant.
This pattern is a variation of the Pheasant Tail-Partridge.
Yvon Chouinard the founder of Patagonia and simplistic fly fisher and fly tyer shows his way of tying the Pheasant Tail-Partridge.
mike Thanks I've always loved the simplicity of these flies. The North Country Spider is another group of flies that are tied in that same manner. Is there a fancy "grilled cheese"?
Hey Alan. Got a little Kabari going on there. Is Tenkara next?

Mark I fish the flies quite often using conventional fly rods. No Tenkara planned.
Simplicity can be beautiful; nicely done, Alan.

Love those flies, Alan. Great emerger patterns that will connect.

Sam that little brown one with the peacock is the fly that brought several to hand the other day on the Farmy.
Tying a few up with the peacock to try on the Pecos and Mora Tuesday. Maybe they'll work in NM too.

Bill I don't see why they would not work. Basic brown insect color with good movement and your skill with the fly rod....go get em.
