Good Old Hare’s Ear
Posted by RnF in All Posts, All Tutorials, Nymph Fly Patterns on January 3, 2011
Nothing special here, just a good old hare’s ear. I was tying up some for re-supply and thought I would make a video tutorial. I rearranged my lighting some, and also using a different camera. I think this turned out nice. It’s not perfect, but gets the job done.
Olive Fly Pie
Posted by RnF in All Posts, All Tutorials, Stillwater Fly Patterns on May 27, 2010
Nothing special here, just a simple stillwater pattern that works quite well. I really like the lateral scale flash this pattern uses. Quite flashy and makes a nice lateral line to a pattern. Started using this pattern last fall and have been quite happy with it. Good thing about it, is that it’s incredibly easy to tie.

RnF Stone Tutorial
Posted by RnF in All Posts, All Tutorials, Nymph Fly Patterns on April 9, 2010
This is a simple stonefly nymph pattern.
Most stonefly nymph patterns are quite involved and time consuming to tie and I haven’t ever really enjoyed tying them. This on fits my style since it’s sort of a soft hackle version and quite simple to tie. It has fished quite well for me on pretty much every river I have used it where stoneflies can be found. I was quite certain this pattern was just going to be one of those patterns that just wasn’t going to do very well and end up in the old “crap bucket”. But this one has found a place in my fly box.
Enjoy!
