November 5th Meeting

[dave robinson]

This week we have our normal short business meeting followed by:

Tyer: Michael Dell

Pattern: Comparadun

Hook: Dry Fly #14 to #22

Thread 8/0 color to match body

Tail: Hackle or synthetic fibres

Wing: Deer hair

Body: Dubbing, color to match natural

Comment: Michael is the local TU president. He will tye a style of fly that is particularly suited for slow clear streams where trout get a good look at the fly (kinda like his favorite haunt. Sizes 14 to 18 with a yellow body for PMDs and sizes 18 to 22 for BWOs. If you don't know what a PMD or BWO is, Michael will explain.

I love comparaduns and sparkle duns. They're easy to tie, float really well and you don't need a bunch of expensive dry fly hackle. Best of all, fish eat them. So guys and gals, listen to what Michael D. has to tell ya. Terry

Great tie tonight Michael. If you weren't there you missed one of the best tyers around doing a great job with history, tips on tying, variations and how to fish with it. Thanks again Michael.

Yes very good presentation Mike. I going to have to tie some up. I will try to stick to the pattern. I Like the one using poly for the wing. That works for me.

 

Great night.
