Michael Dell Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Brian Charles from the Raven Brood Station had to cancel, so we thank Florin Sabac for stepping in to tie some fly patterns for us. Florin will be tying 3 patterns. Stimulator Green Drake Hook: #10-12 Daiichi 1260 or TMC 2312 Thread: 6/0 or 8/0 Uni Olive dun Tail: Deer hair dyed grey or olive Rib: Fine gold wire or tinsel Hackle: Olive dyed grizzly Abdomen: olive dubbing Wing: Same material as tail Thorax: Same as abdomen Comment: One hackle for the abdomen, ribbed for reinforcement; one hackle for the thorax. Keep the wing back and butt against abdomen drop-off to stand well. Given as variant for the Stimulator in Charlie Craven's book. March Brown wet fly Hook: #10-16 Daiichi 1550, Mustad 3906, or similar Thread: 8/0 Uni hot orange Tail: Partridge fibres from a large body feather or tail Rib: Gold wire fine Body: Gold mylar size to match hook (#12-14 for most flies) Hackle: Partridge soft hackle Wing: Partridge tail or secondary wing feather from hen Pheasant Comment: You can vary the body/rib combination to give a different character to the fly: silver mylar/wire; hare's ear/krystal flash; or use dyed Partridge. This is a variation of the Silver March Brown shown in Mike Harding's book, North Country Flies. General Fry Imitation Hook: #4 to #6 Low water Salmon (or #8 - #10 saltwater) Thread: 6/0 Uni black Tail: Small pale orange-red feather or hackle fibres Rib: Silver wire Body: Flat silver tinsel/Mylar Throat: Small red hackle Wing: Mixed (not layered) Polar Bear Yellow+Orange+Blue+Green+Natural Comment: A Haig-Brown pattern from Art Lingren’s Book, Fly Patterns of British Columbia Substitute white polar bear underwing topped with krystal flash, mixed colour. .
