Rick was talking about doing a leach pattern he likes. It's black with a mane of red around the front. I caught 22 trout on one, promptly following the stocking truck. I parked over a hole, and pulled out fish after fish until I lost the fly. I put on a black wooley bugger and caught a couple more but nothing like the little leach. He ties them with black thread if they're not weighted, and red if they are. Kind of smart. I have no Earthly idea what to tie. I've had my nose in a pattern book too. I thought about a streamer called a Joe's Smelt we have a lot of fun with up here. I don't know though. Hunting season's going to officially end before I pack up my stuff and cart out the fly stuff.

Joe's Smelt would be a good choice. I know most folks consider it an Eastern pattern but I have used them here in Alberta in the Crowsnest and some mountain still waters.

Tie the red-maned leech if it catches fish! Oops, I see I misread RobP, and Rick is the one thinking about doing the red-maned leech. As long as somebody does it, as I am ALWAYS on the lookout for a good leech pattern! Maybe I'll set up the vise in front of the Superbowl today and start twisting cinnamon....

I'll do a flash back Pheasant Tail. Are we tying 12 flies or 15?

We're tying 16, cuz Art talked me into tying one, too. I don't know what I'm going to tie, cuz it has to be easy.

I am going to tie a fly called a "fuzz puppy." My friend Rick gave me a clinic today. Tomorrow he is going off to buy me some material. I found the leach is a piece of black zonker strip for the tail, and a two tone (red with black tip) cross cut rabbit strip wound for the body and a tungsten bead for a head. A fuzz puppy is another favorite with bead chain eyes, holographic tinsel ribbing, marabou tail and rabbit fur dubbing. It looks like a damselfly larva pattern, but he says no. It's another fly to try in the same category as leaches and wooley buggers. Rick worked for a sporting goods store I frequented growing up, and I love listening to him talk about this stuff.

Here's a pic of the fuzz puppy and red/black leach for the swap, courtesy of the 8 degree day we had today. Oh, by the way, Rick tied the puppy, and I'm going to try the leach. I've got to learn how to spin on the cross cut bunny strips anyway.

Wow, what a camera! I didn't expect that amount of clarity!

One of our participants thought it would be a cool thing if all of us tied 20 flies and then the extras could be donated to worthy causes to use as they see fit, for fundraiser, auctions, gifts, etc. I think it's an awesome idea, and so, I'm tossing it out to you, the participants, and asking if you'd be willing to match that number. If so, great, include the extras (it's only 4 more) with your original 16 and we'll put together some cool things for a couple of very appreciative organizations.
Thanks!

Then I'll do it. But I bet the mentioned "one of our participants" is tying a simple fly!
