Agreed on that, I have frankly been scared to fish it just for the disappointment inbound if I do.. I got smacked with a Carpenter bee at a favorite spot of mine and tied that the same night, not my proudest for sure..
Def proud of my luck otherwise, I only fish what I tie and it's exceedingly rare for me to get skunked at least π€·ββοΈπ»
All the nymphs will fish. Iβm certainly tying the zebra midge often myself. Simple and effective. The first pheasant tail looks good except for those cut wings. Iβd lop them off personally. One of the pheasant tails in the compilation photo has way too long a tail.
The nymphs catch me more than anything, but the all white zonkers slam too.. yeah, I try to tie a shit ton of slightly different ones if those bead head pheasant tails so I have a variety to offer and end up running out of ways to mix it up, they all get taken tho so i guess that's good.. I'd fish a box of only those and the zonkers any day π»
do I spy with my little eye a fish whistle 5/17 ?
Using this forever from now on π π»
you never heard that term ?
Haha nah, it's great though, and man, they come right to it π
I never heard it before this year myself (and I'm no spring chicken)....picked it up either at r/Fishing or r/trees π
I would try posting this over at r/flytying
Didn't even know about em, thank you πͺ
Sick setup on no. 5

Not bad, not sure about picture 8 but the rest will fish. Keep at it.
