It only uses 5 different materials and once mastered is quick and easy to tie. Particular attention should be paid to the dimensions of the fly and amount of materials used, but we hope the very detailed instructions below will provide everything you need. | |
| _______________ | | Fly Patterns: A BWO Emerger, a Meaty Streamer, and a Gorgeous Full Dressed Salmon Fly | | Here at Hatches, we're always on the lookout for interesting fly patterns. Probably the single greatest resource we have at our disposal for finding them is the Fly Pattern Database (which has grown to over 10,000 fly patterns!). No where else on the web can one find a greater archive of fly patterns, and we would like to thank everyone who has contributed to it. To express our great appreciation, and to make sure "older" patterns aren't forgotten, we have decided to highlight three fly patterns from the database each week. We'll share the best of the best, from the past to the present. | |

| _______________ | | Spring Olives by Russ Forney | | Sand Creek is a pretty little piece of trout water that harbors some very fussy fish.
