This thread hasn't seen much action lately, and fall fishing is upon us, - so what are you tying?
Here are a few from my vise, first a couple flies for salmon:
An October Caddis pupa - (or drowned adult, these guys hatch at night, so how often the pupa are seen by trout is a matter of debate. This one inspired by one posted recently on flytyingforum).
And the adult. This pattern a work in progress, a cross between a Stimulator and a MadameX. The body is hot orange antron chenille, not wound around the hook, but a single strand bound to the underside of the shank. The elk hair is folded over a bodkin to give a larger head for skating the fly with a riffle hitch. The orange bucktail is just for a strike indicator, since it sits low in the water.
