More Salty Flies

I am still on my mission to fill up my Satwater flybox before our long awaited holiday next week. Cannot remember when last I have sat down and tied so many flies in one go. Luckily these are fairly easy to tie.Today I tied up some crease flies. Hope the fish likes them.

Some Salty Flies

Things have been very quiet on here lately. Our streams have been very low and with high temperatures it just was not worth it to venture out. In the last two month I have only gone fishing once and that day turned out in a blank. At least I am now officially on leave for the next few weeks and with our traditional Easter weekend rain things are looking better. I have a date with a small stream tomorrow so let's hope I can get some fish.

In the meantime I have been filling up my salt water fly boxes in anticipation for a week-long trip that the missus and I is going on next week. Today I cranked out a couple of clousers and while getting bored from tying the same thing over and over I also started playing around and came up with the below fly. Going to tie up a few more in some different colour combinations and hope that the fish like them.



Below is some of the Clouser's I cranked out today.

CDC and Elk Variation

This is one of my favorite and most productive small stream flies. It is basically just the standard CDC and Elk fly, but I use a dark deer hair instead of the normal bleached elk hair and add a bright post and some flash to the fly. 


MATERIALS

BODY: CDC
WING: Deer Hair
