Cyber Monday Shopping- Headhunters

Did a little pre-Christmas cyber shopping 

for Floatfisher yesterday at my second favorite flyshop next to Charlies. I tried to restrain from the damn daily e-mails but gave in about 3 pm, the day the sale ended.

You will have to wait for Thursday or Fridays blog to see my successful shopping day.
     Stay tuned ....

This is a fantastic early and late season midge and general attractor pattern to fish. Although designed to fish for the Arkansas River, I have fished it very successfully through Wyoming, Idaho and Montana. Just vary the size for the water and fishing conditions and bug you are representing. Can be tied in several combinations of colors. Try this on your favorite river.

Rainbow Warrior- Fly Pattern

This is a go to nymph that should be in everyone's flybox. I have not found a river that is does not work on. Tie it in a variety of sizes. To me the key is the red thread at the head.
