    Thanks for all of your suggestions guys!

    I had some free time today so I started tying a bunch of Klamath flies, and since I still had some time available I took pictures of them for you guys to see and offer constrictive criticism. I still have some more flies to tie, like the bloody mary and the bread crust to name a few.

    Here are the flies that I tied today in my own style, I deviated a little from their standard patterns..

    Here's a #10 mossback.


    Here's a #10 Brindle Bug.


    Here's a mossback colored assassin, I also tied some in a brindle bug coloration, and some if a coffee color (brown & black varigated chennile.)


    Here's a couple of Renegade type of patterns with short bright marabou tails.




    I also have tied up a Silver Hilton Variation with a bronze mallard tail and black UV ice dubbing body that gives this fly a nice subtle sparkle.


    Here are a few of my spey caddis patterns that should also work on the Klamath.




    I will tie up some different flies in a couple of days and post pictures of those flies then.

    Do you think that these flies will work?

    If you want to get crazy tie purple assaassins... that fly produces.

    No Adam, those flies won't work, trust me. I wouldn't even bother going up there if I were you! Put those flies away and I will pick them up on my way to the "T". I don't get many fish up there anyway so I might as well get skunked on your flies!

    BTW: Nice ties!
    Ya don't know, if ya don't go!

    I tied up some purple assassins, red-butted skunks, and bloody marys today. Here's a full card of Klamath flies ready to be put to the test.



    I also have some larger more adult steelhead sized flies in the same colorations, also the ever important black steelhead flies.

    Thanks for the compliment.

    I just can't seem to stop tying flies right now, so here's another fly that I tied today.

    A classic feather-winged steelhead pattern in a more natural tone with some added sparkle to sweeten the pot.



    What do you guys think?
