Tonight I was getting my fly tying stuff out of Logan's room before I put him down and he asks me "Going to tie more flies?" I have no idea where he got that but I guess he is really observant and he knows dad "Needs" more flies. The first are probably the closest thing to "bait" that I have fished in 20 years. San Juan worms. Not real but easy to tie and super effective! Plus you don't have to skewer a worm on a hook to fish with it!

The next are a classic called the Royal Wolff. A pain to tie with squirrel tail but I wanted to be authentic.

The last fly is a soft hackle called the Partridge and Orange or Partridge and Yellow depending on the color you use. they are fished under the water in a sweeping motion through a hole. Most people use it as a generic searching pattern.

Logan is so cute - he is ready to fish!
Ben..... Why do your flies always look better than mine. I need to start tying more. Looks relaxing. Love the flies
