Squirrel Hair Caddis
Hi,
I really like the "buggy" qualities of the Red Fox Squirrel hair. So, I tied a caddis using the guard hair of the back of a squirrel body.

Hi,
Trying to use subtle differences in dubbing color in an attempt to get a little hint of segmentation on this Pale Evening Dun Sparkle Dun.

Jason Borger's Watercolors
Hi,
I am making shadow boxes of some of my flies. Jason Borger did 2 watercolors of my "Byron's Soft Hackle" which I am including in the shadow boxes.
I think he did a beautiful job!!
He is a true artist!!!

Hybrid Nymph

Hi,
I am torn between two of my favorite nymphs: The Red Fox Squirrel and the Pheasant Tail. The Prince Nymph is right up there as well.
Anyway, today, I thought I would tie a couple hybrids between the squirrel and the pheasant tail nymph. This is what I have come up with so far.

Flytyers Dungeon Dubbing
i ordered a few different dubbings from "The Mad Scientist" at Fly Tyers Dungeon. This particular dubbing is a little different in that it is a little fuzzy. They also sell a dubbing called "Skeeter Fuzz" which is really fine and is NOT fuzzy.

Combo Thread for Tying Midge Patterns
Hi,
Midges reach a late stage in which they seem to be saturated with hemoglobin and their bodies become red/black or sort of maroon in color. I thought about using two colors of thread: red and black. However, it was not easy to do using two bobbins.
Then, I saw that there is a product called "Combo Thread" which has two colors of very fine thread on the same spool. It is really convenient and I think it looks good.

Dave Whitlock's Red Fox Squirrel Nymph
Hi,
Thought I would post this famous fly as tied by Dave Whitlock himself:
We all have our own styles and methods which lead to different versions of the same fly. I don't have exact materials that Dave Whitlock uses. These are my interpretation:

Dubbing from The Dungeon
Hi,
Yesterday, I received my order of dubbing from "The Dungeon". I have heard a lot about these guys on the forums. Their email response comes from "The Mad Scientist". I was told their dubbing blends are the best.
So, this morning, I broke into a batch of it and tied a Blue Winged Olive.

Hi,
This drawing and watercolor was done by Jason Borger. Jason is the son of Gary Borger - famous fly fishing author. Jason was the stunt man doing the casting in "A River Runs Through it". He is a tremendous artist, writer, and fly caster.
The drawing above was done as the original in his father's book "Designing Trout Flies". The drawing appears on page 25 of that book. Jason was kind enough to watercolor the drawing for me.
I think he is an awesome artist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
