Last weekend the trout were preoccupied with a little buzzer.
I went back today to give the raven's a few eggs😊
I managed to see the fly today, black butt, green body, blae wing and ginger legs.

I find that I am much more inspired to sit down at my vise and tie flies when it finally feels as if spring has arrived and reports of ice-free lakes start trickling in...

Here's a fly pattern that's as fun to tie as it is to fish and is surprisingly effective.

Two sets of 4 fishing flies. All have a collar of brown fur, a rounded veil of Antron sparkle fibers (4 in orange & 4 with a white veil)surrounding the body to imitate a Caddis fly pupa. The pupa rises from the water bottom to the surface where it will emerge as an adult and fly away, later to mate and die. Fish love the eat the pupa while rising or when emerging on the surface.
