End of the season whereby you then begin the start of the next stream season and fish the same fly?Need a few more heavyweights to make it to the end of the season. Had one last two days, then went through two today.
Well, there will be some lake fishing in between, but yeah. I've got many rods, so I can present different ways. I can ESN or tightline it, two days I fished it under a bobber. Many times, like yesterday, I swing it. I love fishing down and across. Same fly, but I can tweak it for many different methods and seasons.End of the season whereby you then begin the start of the next stream season and fish the same fly?
Looks fishy Zak! I made my gallows tool from an old metal paint can handle. I just use the tying thread to make the loop, after winding the hackle I press it downward towards the hook, pull over and tie the thread loop by the hook eye. It’s almost impossible to pull the hackle off….way stronger than a parachute. The fly sits flush in the surface film…..Hacklestacker midge, size 16, with a hat tip to @Bambooflyguy :

Do people who tie these use a gallows tool? I was really wanting a third hand for the hackle! I used uni-stretch for the post.
also, I managed to use a little from each of these incredible tails I received over the last week!
sorry/not sorry....That's pure tail porn, right there

Hah, I'm on a shrimp fly kick too.The Fur Pig farm. After seeing @jasmillo catching fish after fish with this when they refuse all else I just had to put my head down and do some production tying
