“Como comenzar a pescar con mosca y no desesperarse en el intento” Gerardo Herreros 21 INTRODUCCION AL TOMO 7
Este tomo está dedicado a los obsesivos que quieran ampliar los patrones. No son patrones con menor im- portancia que los del Tomo 2, sino que en aquel seleccioné las moscas más representativas por uso u ata- do. Encontrarán aquí moscas que pueden pensar como “imprescindibles” para un lugar u ocasión especial. Si bien el objetivo del libro son los hispanoparlantes, llegado hasta aquí, verán algunos patrones en inglés, supongo que si empiezan con moscas de este tomo, tienen las cosas más o menos claras!! y ya un poco empapado en el léxico “técnico” de este arte, sino vaya al tomo 6. Si ha llegado hasta aquí, ya podemos con las recetas de las moscas, armar las nuestras. Gerardo Herreros, marzo de 2006

Esto significa que el dubbing no debe en todos los casos atarse en forma muy ceñida. A partir del último cuarto del cuerpo o pata del anzuelo, se fija fibras de pavo común o de faisán de color marrón y una pluma de partridge marrón que puede suplantarse por perdiz chica nuestra. Se sigue con el dubbing de jabalí dándole mayor vo- lumen, luego se ata dando vuelta desde la parte más fina de la pluma -que se coloca- rá invertida-, se fija con no más de dos vueltas, se corta el sobrante y se cubre con las fibras de pavo común o faisán.

Generalmente una mosca así atada, de to- das formas al final de ese periplo, queda defectuosa. No ocurre así con las ninfas y en especial con las Hare's Ear y menos aún con la Jabalí. Cuanto más se «des- hilacha», mejor capta. Le hemos dado mu- chas vueltas verbales con el Bebe al éxito de esta ninfa y lo único que encontramos es que debe ser por su tipo de presencia translúcida ya la movilidad que presenta, justamente, cuando se des- hilacha. Es naturalmente una ninfa emer- gente, por cuanto ni al Bebe ni a mí, se nos ocurriría colocar lastre, por lo tanto, parte de lo relatado para accionar la Hare's, vale para este caso también.
Las ato en anzuelos 94840 o similares pa- ra la venta, y en 94845 y fundamentalmente en la serie 200R de Tiemco también. Otras series muy buenas son las 700B, 135 Scud de Dai-Riki.
Uso anzuelos desde el14 al... 8 y hasta a veces un 4... En la gran mayoría atados en anzuelos de Tiemco, serie ya enunciada. Pero usando ó las tres cuarta partes ó di- rectamente e150% de la pata del anzuelo. Ocurre que con esta anzuelo la clavada no es fácil. Una vez lograda, es harto difícil que el pez-cado se libere, pero es común perder muchos piques. Y esto no es sóla- mente atribuible al anzuelo, sino a la forma de tomar por parte de nuestra amiga la trucha. En general ca- si no muerde, sino que pareciera que ab- sorbiera, que aspirara cual un pejerrey, tomando moscas. Es realmente una ninfa increlble y, arriesgo, cuasi insuperable. Pe- ro vale ayudarla. Por caso ejemplar, con ellídery su final. Es sin ninguna duda, muy importante maniobrar con líderes largos, que le permitirán un ac- cionar bien liberado, que a su vez en aguas levemente rápidas, nos permitirá accionar constantemente con la caña.
Por favor ubíquese en función de pesca; lanzamos un poco, no mucho, por debajo de nuestra ubicación. Cuando la ninfa llega a tomar contacto con el agua, levante la caña y deje deslizar el par de metros que tiene en la mano opuesta a la que sostiene la caña... A continuación, con línea «blan- da» en el agua, empiece
“Como comenzar a pescar con mosca y no desesperarse en el intento” Gerardo Herreros 54 en forma constante, suave, de acuerdo con las innumerables corrientes superficiales de las aguas donde estamos pescando, a concretar pequeños mends, enmiendas que en realidad, deben llevar dos sentidos: el de mantener un control por supuesto, ante una posible picada, pero, fundamen- talmente, para darle a la ninfa un sentido de vida. Esa ninfa, en su reacción natural, está buscando llegar a la superficie sacudiendo su cuerpo a los efectos de desprender el caparazón que sujeta sus surgentes alas... Y este es el momento que espera la trucha para tomarla. Lo he visto infinidad de ve- ces actuando como guía.
Cuando la ninfa llega a ubicarse en forma directa -río abajo- de la ubicación del pes- cador, una trucha que viene acompañando el derivaje, se queda sin atacar, casi colo- cando su trompa tocando al cebo. Es cuando en la mayoría de los casos come- temos error: no debe recogerse precipita- mente sino todo lo contrario. Debe traccionarse la ninfa en forma por demás suave y lenta; AQU I es cuando la trucha en la mayoría de los casos, se abalanza sobre la Jabalí... Desde tres metros hasta 3,60 he utilizado y recomiendo en el largo del líder. Final máximo para tamaños grandes, el 0,20. Pero mejor resulta utilizar un final del 0, 15 en pequeños y medianos ríos y del 0, 18 en los semejantes al Chi- mehuín. Con Jabalíes atadas en anzuelos del doce, he logrado capturas de más de tres kilos. Con monstruos atadas en anzuelos del ocho al cuatro, muchas son las capturas de grandes ejemplares...
La receta que uso yo para la jabalí es una que había descrito el Bebe Anchorena en un artículo en la revista Roll Cast (el ante- pasado del boletín mosquero de la AAPM) hace muchos años, allá por los 80.

Fly: Marcus Ruoff, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann Hook: Any barbless strong dry fly or nymph hook size 8-12 Weight: Brass conehead Thread: Dyneema or white thread Body: doll hair Eyes: prismatic eyes either flat or epoxy Background: This is an easy to tie small streamer which has proven very successful at the start of the season or anytime small fry is around. Good thing about it is that due to the conehead it is a good sinker but still has enough lifelike action through the doll hair. Also it is quite transparent in the water which might be one reason for its success. The eyes are not compulsory but look nice if you want to take the trouble to attach them. The one in the picture has already caught some fish, so it doesn’t look brandnew. Tying notes: Thread conehead onto hook, wind on thread, bind in doll hair strip and wind doll hair right into the conehead so that it sits relatively tight. Finish with half hitches and attach eyes with superglue or any other glue that keeps the eyes on for a minute or two. Ugly Mayfly
Fly: Marcus Ruoff, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann
Hook: any long shank dry fly hook in size 8-12 Thread: To match body color Body and extended body: white foam cut square to the thickness desired Wing: two similar CDC-feathers Hackle (optional): you might leave it out or take the trouble to add a bit of fanciness to the pattern by adding a parachute hackle like in the picture. This fly would catch equally well without the hackle! Background: This must rate as about the ugliest mayfly pattern ever! This is not a picture postcard, naturalistic, breathing, lifelike creation as most of the big may- flies you normally see. But boy this one is one hell of a fish catcher. As you might know we have quite a few chalk streams here in Southern Ger- many with big, famous hatches of big mayflies. It is here that this fly proved its effectiveness time and time again.
My friends and I have really given a lot of patterns at different waters a try because the fish can be quite selective. We have tried everything from e.g. Oliver Edwards, Gerhard Laible and other impres- sionistic and classic patterns etc. but this one really stood out anywhere we were fortunate
“Como comenzar a pescar con mosca y no desesperarse en el intento” Gerardo Herreros 135 enough to experience this wonderful hatch.
White was the most effective colour so far, al- though we have tried to copy the more yellow-like colour of the naturals. You might want to try this out or adjust the colour to your needs.The helicop- ter effect of most of these big flies is not too bad with this one either if you try to match the CDC- wings.

I tie it with a more pronounced lower “lip” to create a cupped popper face. It also resembles a large foam beetle with a tail! What- ever it is, it is my favorite and most frequently used surface fly for warm-water species. Size 8 works well for the panfish and small bass I find in local farm ponds. Size 4 works nicely when target- ing larger bass.
“Como comenzar a pescar con mosca y no desesperarse en el intento” Gerardo Herreros 136
Tip: For a nice bass bug on a size 4 hook, cut your foam slightly wider. You might try slightly thicker foam (I use an evazote foam from Rainy’s) or two layers of foam of the same or different col- ors. Hare & Herl Bugger

When wet it looks very much like the damselfly nymphs that hatch all season in most of my local waters.
Tip: A marabou tail will work, but I prefer rabbit fur for a durable tail material on small buggers. Cut short pieces from zonker strips to experiment with different color tails.

Note: This is one of the greatest middle dropper flies ever. I have won competitions on this fly when everyone else struggled. It is small enough not to frighten fish, but bright enough to attract them. It got its name when my boat partner beat me 7-1 in a competition using this fly. He gave me one at the end of the day. It was originally an or- ange lure, but I tried the coral colored one and it was even better than the original. The scruffier it gets, the more the fish like it. It is also a good lure for perch.

“Como comenzar a pescar con mosca y no desesperarse en el intento” Gerardo Herreros 143 some natural white hairs from the flank of a White Tail Deer
Notes: This fly is simply a modification from Al Troth’s “Elk Hair Caddis.” It was developed out of a need to present a darker, more mottled appear- ing wing than elk hair provided. But a problem arose in that the fly's darker wing was difficult to see in bright light, so a friend, Stu Garrison, and I came up with the idea of placing lighter colored hair over the darker natural deer. We tried various colors, but found that white was the most visible to different fishermen in various circumstances. Of course the body and hackle color can be changed to more closely match the natural. The real bonus this fly supplies over an Elk Hair Caddis is the wing being a bit more mottled as well as being visible in both dark shadowed as well as brightly lit situations. Cylinder Popper (blue tiger)
Fly: Jerry Caruso, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann
Hook: Straight eyed hook(light wire preferred), 3 to 4XL, size 10-1 Thread: To match foam color Tail: Marabou (or whatever) Body/hackle: White foam cylinder(1/4 to 1/2 inch) Floatation: Dry or Saddle Sparkle: Fabric Paint(Icicle Sparkle) Eyes: 3-D Epoxy Color: Permanent Markers
Note: Just a flat faced cylinder popper. I like to use a white cylinder to give me more color op- tions. One in the vise wrap the hook shank with thread. I use a hot needle to burn a hole through the cylinder. Then I coat the hook shank with su- per glue and quickly slide the cylinder on the shank. I will color the cylinder (I like white, char- treuse, Fire Tiger, Blue Tiger, and Orange Tiger). Coat with the fabric paint. Let dry. Add a second coat of color and eyes. Add second coat of fabric paint or epoxy. When dry tie in tail and hackle. Color to match the body. Hackle can be trimmed flat on bottom if you want. I tie these in various sizes and lengths. I will also slide E-Z body or Corsair tubing over them for a more tapered pop- per. Eyes go over the hook point not in the front.

Note: Tied to imitate small American eels that swim up the Delaware River during the spring. There about 3-4 inches long. Just about any gamefish in the river will eat these eels. For salt water this makes a passable Sand eel(which is a fish not an eel). Tied using longer materials to about 8-12 inches long with a little more bulk. It can be used to imitate the eels used by those livelining for stripers in the fall. Although I used black thread in this pattern. Clear mono would be a better choice. Estaz Bug
Fly: Jerry Caruso, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann Hook: Tiemco 101, size 4 to 12 Thread: White(match the color of the Estaz) Weight: Lead wire(wrapped in middle of hook shank) Tail: White Marabou or Arctic Fox over flash mate- rial of choice Body: White Estaz(see comments)
Note: This is a good pattern. It imitates nothing natural, but does a fair imitation of a Mr. Twister Grub. I have caught everything from Snapper Blues to Trout on it. My biggest fly rod small- mouth, 18 inches, fell for a size 4 white one. A very simple tie. Wrap your lead wire around the shank. Tie in sparse amount of flash mate- rial(about 10 strands) then tie in your marabou or arctic fox. Tie in the estaz, wrap forward and tie off, build a thread head. Now take your scissors and trim, give it a crew cut. It should have a grub shape when done. How to fish. I have caught fish dead drifting it, I have had them pick up as it was lying on the bot- tom, or when stripped in.
“Como comenzar a pescar con mosca y no desesperarse en el intento” Gerardo Herreros 145 Fun Foam Popper
Fly: Jerry Caruso, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann Hook: Any dry fly hook, standard size to 3XL Thread: To match foam color Tail: Marabou Body/hackle: Dry Fly or Saddle hackle Floatation: Circle punched from craft foam Note: An easy and effective pattern. It was shown to me by a local tyer, whose name escapes me, about 5 years ago. I use craft store foam either 1/16 or 1/8 inch, I prefer 1/8 inch when I can get it. Punch various size circles out of it. I use ex- pended brass, from .38 Special to 12 Ga. shotgun to punch my circles out. Put your hook in the vise. Wrap some thread behind the eye. I like to add a drop of super glue to the thread covered area. Pinch the foam circle at the bottom and slide it onto the hook shank just behind the eye. Then wrap it into place. If done right it should form a cupped popper head. Bring the thread to the back of the hook tie in your marabou tail. You can add some flash if you want. Then tie in your hackle by the tip and wrap forward to right behind the head. Tie off and trim excess. Then take your scissors and trim the hackle flat on the bottom. The eyes on this fly are pin heads, but a dot of fabric paint or no eyes at all will do just as well. I tie from size 12 to size 2. It pushes a lot a water when stripped. At rest, the tail end sinks and the fly will sit vertical until stripped. I tie it mainly in white, chartreuse and yellow, but it can be tied in whatever color combination that suits yours or the fish's fancy. Little Black Caddis
Fly: Jerry Caruso, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann Hook: Tiemco 2488, size 20 Thread: Black, 12/0 Body: Black CDC Feather tied in by the tip and wrapped Wing: Black CDC
Note: Ridley Creek, here in SE PA has an excel- lent hatch of these caddis in the spring. I tied up a pattern based on information in a book which said to use a size 14 dry fly hook. Anyway, the pattern was way to big, and did not get a look from the trout. Caught a few caddis and took them home with me. This pattern was the result. It is based on the CDC and Elk.
There was not any deer or elk hair small enough so I opted to use Black CDC for the wing. Since these caddis "walk" on the water, heading toward the shore, most action occurs at the end of the drift as the fly starts to swing.

Note: I tie this pattern to imitate the Little Brown Stone Fly we have here in the East. The CDC feather is tied in by the tip and wrapped like a CDC&Elk. I trim the flaring barbules. Start with the Red Brown CDC make a couple of wraps (can't be sure if this is an egg sac) trim, then tie in Dark Brown CDC and wrap forward. Wissahickon Midge

Note: Actually based on a gnat or black fly but it's my go to "midge" pattern. Best size seems to be a 22. Body is CDC feathers tied in by the tip, and wrapped like a CDC&Elk. When I get down to the smaller sizes, I use just the barbules for the body. Wing is a clump of white CDC. Initially tied as a dry, discovered by accident that it's equally effec- tive when wet and fished as a dropper. Beadhead Tan Crystal Cad- dis

“Como comenzar a pescar con mosca y no desesperarse en el intento” Gerardo Herreros 158 fly, but somewhat limited because of it's mono- tone grey/brown color.

Its' low profile and flush floating character combine to make it a very good fly where trout can take a good look at imitations. It also floats well on rough water. This has proven to be a good fly in other colors wher- ever stone flies are present. I also tie it with yellow abdomen and thorax, and with rusty brown abdo- men and yellow thorax.

The fly undgergoes a startling transformation when wet, and ought not to be dismissed as a bad dream. The strikes are hard, with very few short takes. If the maker uses 'genetic'grizzly, then one side of the feather should be stripped, to keep the barb count low. Larger .08's are known as "5-day benders", regular sized ones arealso known as "drunks", fancy ones are known as "Sp8's", and collectively,they aka as "Barflies" Note: Excellent instructions for the parallel weave can be found in the latest reference book by Leeson and Schollmeyer.

Note: My friend, Dean Perry, is one of the greatest fishermen I have ever seen. His style is fast and efficient, like the great Art Flick. Whenever I get the chance to fish with him, I am humbled. On any given day, for every fish I catch, he will take 3 or 4. Dean introduced me to this great sport, and has been my inspiration to keep at it.
Dean’s flies are always great fish catchers, and they are simple to tie. This aquatic worm fly is possibly the simplest fly I have even seen, and it breaks the tradition of common fly tying. But, toss it over any large trout, and they don’t seem to care how long it took you or that it isn’t a “real fly” - they just care that it looks like food! I know a spring creek in Washington where this pattern catches more fish than everything else combined. Fish Dean’s Worm close the bottom, and be ready as takes can be hard to detect.

Fly: Andy Simon, photograph: Hans Weilenmann
Hook: Mustad salmon fly hook, size 4-6 Thread: 3/0 black uni-thread Tail: Purple Hackle Fibers Rib: Small silver tinsel Body: Orange floss, Then Pink Pheasant tail, fol- lowed by peacock Wing: White calf tail Note: This fly was not designed by me or by any local fishermen. The great Randal Kauffman de- signed this fly, and popularized it on the famous steelhead rivers of Oregon. But I am including it because it has special value to me. This is the pattern I took my first steelhead on, while fishing the Deschutes River with my dad.
Fish this fly using a down and across method, let it swing until it is fully below you, then pick up and cast again. This method is very methodical, and sometimes you will forget that you are even fish- ing at all. Cast, swing, step, and repeat. A peace- ful rhythmic motion you soon become absorbed with. You realize what this sort of fishing is about - a solitary game, worlds apart from common trout fishing. There are no loud fisherman and their rude guides who care nothing about the river or its needs. It’s just you, and the fish

Last year, while fishing a short stretch of the Rhonde, one of my close friends took fourteen steelhead in under one hour. I didn’t believe him until a week later when he showed me the photos of that amazing day. If that isn’t a testament to the effectiveness of this fly, I don’t know what is.

I like to fish this fly behind a larger pattern, such as a damsel nymph or a bead head Copper John. One of my largest trout, a fish well over 30 inches, fell to this pattern one June evening. Using a scud imitation like this fly will put you on large fish, be- cause scuds are a main food source for large trout. Ice Fly
Fly: Andy Simon, photograph: Hans Weilenmann
Hook: Size 12-scud hook Thread: 8/0 grey uni-thread Weight: Small brass bead Tail: Dark pink marabou Rib: small silver tinsel Body: Dark pink ice dubbing Note: This is a great pattern for small, still waters. I fish this pattern similarly to a chironomid. Let it sink for about 20 seconds, and then slowly re- trieve the fly, in 4-6 inch strips. While the Ice Fly doesn’t imitate anything in particular, it does have a lot of flash and movement. The Ice Fly is a great producer year round, and a great fly to try when nothing else seems to strike the fish’s fancy.

bass anywhere crawfish live. This fly is a little time consuming to tie, but its well worth it. The great action it provides attracts fish that don’t even look at other offerings. Fish the Mac Daddy close to the bottom, with 6-inch strips. Every 5 or so strips, give the fly an aggressive strip twice as long and twice as fast as the normal strip.

One day last year I was fishing a small creek near my home, when I saw a few rusty duns coming off the water and soon it turned into a full- scale hatch. The only problem was I didn’t have anything in my box to match the duns, so I fished with an Adams the rest of the day, only catching a few fish. I was back the next day, determined not to let the same thing happen and I was armed with a fly I had tied the night before. Right on
“Como comenzar a pescar con mosca y no desesperarse en el intento” Gerardo Herreros 181 queue, the duns started coming off the water and the fish were rising. I cast out with hands shaking and high expectations, but to my disappointment my fly sank like a rock, and without my floatant that day, I was helpless. Back to the drawing board, I needed a pattern that would work quickly as the hatch would be over in a few days. I was at my bench that night when I remembered a batch of CDC feathers that my friend had given me. Be- fore he gave them to me, he got out a glass of wa- ter and showed me what happened when a CDC feather was submerged. It trapped air, and did not become saturated. Amazing. I decided to use one of the CDC feathers as the wing post for the para- chute. I tied up a bunch of flies that night, and had high hopes for the next day.
Just as the two days before, the duns came and the fish rose, but today I wasn’t just a spectator to the action, I was catching fish! That day I stopped counting at about 15. Let’s just say I caught my fair share of trout with this fly.
Mill Creek Hopper
Fly: Andy Simon, photographs: Hans Weilenmann
Hook: Size 10 dry fly hook Thread: Black 6/0 Body: Yellow 3mm foam, marked with black per- manent marker Underwing: Green dear hair Overwing: Green raffia Legs: Yellow rubber legs, marked with black per- manent marker Head: Yearling elk tied bullet style, eyes drawn with black permanent marker Note: This fly was named for one of my favorite home waters; a beautiful stream near Walla Walla called Mill Creek. While this fly looks complex, it is really fairly simple to tie. They key to this fly is get- ting the extended body right. To build the ex- tended body, slip a piece of foam that is 3 inches long and 1/8 inch wide onto a needle so that the foam is impaled in the middle, with one and one half inches of foam on either side of the needle. Now, put the needle into your vice, and attach the thread. Wind the thread back to the foam and be- gin forming the body. First form one ball will the thread, then advance the tying thread and form two more. Once you have finished, whip finish the thread and pull the body off the needle. Now, take one of the foam sections, and stick the hook through it, pulling the foam all the way up to the bend of the hook. Then, attach your thread to the hook, and wrap it back to the foam. Now, form 2 more balls of foam, and cut the excess foam from the hook. Next, and perhaps most the important step in this fly, is to put a drop of Zap-a-Gap onto
“Como comenzar a pescar con mosca y no desesperarse en el intento” Gerardo Herreros 182 the body, to hold it in place so it does not spin. Af- ter this is finished, dress the fly as you would any other hopper pattern. I use a bullet head and rub- ber legs for the fly, but feel free to use a clipped hair head, or anything else you want to try. Ex- perimentation is a crucial step in developing good flies.
Simon’s Spey
Fly: Andy Simon, photograph: Hans Weilenmann
Hook: Size 6-8 Mustad salmon fly hook Thread: 3/0 black uni-thread Tail: Black Saddle hackle fibers Rib: small silver tinsel Body, rear two/third: black uni-thread Body, front one/third: black rabbit fur (see tying note) Collar: Purple saddle hackle Tying note: Rabbit fur is spun into a dubbing loop using a special technique. Form a dubbing loop, then open the loop, and place in a zonker strip so that all the rabbit fur is inside the loop and pointing out one side. The skin portion of the zonker strip is left on the other side of the loop. Clip the skin of the strip, so that only the rabbit fur remains in the dubbing loop. Now simply spin the dubbing loop and wind around the hook shank.
Note: This fly is perhaps one of my favorites to tie. It is beautifully simple, yet has a nice profile. Simon’s Spay bridges the gap between the old world spey style flies and modern techniques. Us- ing a variation on the dubbing loop technique, a flowing hackle of rabbit fur is formed, giving the fly tons of action while in the water. Try this pattern out on you local anadromous species and you will be pleasantly surprised. S.L.F Damsel

Hook: size 12-scud model Thread: 8/0 grey uni-thread Weight: Lead wire Tail: Olive marabou, very sparse Rib: Small red ultra wire Body: Olive synthetic living fiber Eyes: Green melted mono Note: The S.F.L Damsel is a great pattern for still waters. Any time you see cruising trout, cast a few feet in front of it, and let the fly sink, and once it gets down to the fishes level, give it short fast strips until the fish passes or picks they fly up. This can be an amazing way to fish on July eve- nings when every fish in the lake is near the shore feeding on damsels.

Fly: Andy Simon, photograph: Hans Weilenmann
Hook: size 12-scud model, with a flattened shank Thread: Dark red 6/0 uni-thread Weight: lead wire, wrapped around entire shank Rib: Small red ultra wire Shellback: Plastic bag, cut to shape, with a coat of Softex over it Body: Olive synthetic living fiber Note: Contrary to popular belief, scuds do not have a curved position as they swim. The only time a scud takes up a curved position is when it’s dead, or tumbling down a rushing stream, trying to find a foothold. So, for this scud imitation I use a scud hook, flattened out so it doesn’t have any bend. Why you ask do you still use a scud hook, and not a normal nymph hook? Because the gap of a scud hook is larger, giving a better chance to hook this fish…simple as that.
To fish this fly, cast it out in front of cruising fish, and let it sink until it gets down to their level. Now, begin to strip it in using brisk, 3-6 inch pulls. Often times, you will not feel a take with this pattern, so when you feel any change in the resistance on your line, strike. Many fish will take this fly and swim towards you, so the line will become easier to retrieve, if this happens, you must use a strip strike, to pull as much line in so you make contact with the fish.

Hook: Mustad salmon fly hook, Size 2-8 Thread: Orange flat waxed nylon Eyes: Large bead chain eyes Weight: Lead wire wrapped around shank Tail: Pink marabou Rib: Small silver tinsel
Body: Pink marabou wound around shank Note: I developed this pattern to catch summer and winter run steelhead on the Tucannon River. It is simple and easy to tie. This is an important thing for a steelhead fly, because if you want to catch steelhead, you must fish deep. If you must fish, then you will lose many flies.

It's Bill Campbell's version for the large stoneflies found on the headwaters of the Rio Grande and locally known as Willow Flies. Origi- nally tied many years ago by Bill to try and get a fly that would hold up after more than just a few toothy browns, he used closed cell foam for the body and surgical wire instead of thread. After Bill, along with his fishing friends, Howard, and the ranch manager, Rod, all had their say on the fly's design and efficacy they put in Rod's boat and began the float toward the ranch. Howard was in the front of the boat that day (which surprises me since he's always insisted I take the front when- ever we've fished) and both the fly and the fishing were holding up to expectations. After Howard had accounted for all of his fish that day on the same fly, he hooked into one last brown as they approached the take out spot at the ranch. Rod leaned forward and said to Howard, "Don't loose that fly." He didn't, and that last fish made 46 on the same fly. Mission accomplished, Bill. Attractor Sally

Fly: Cory Muench, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann
Hook: Orvis 1639; Size 14 Thread: Uni 6/0; Rust Brown Egg: Dark Orange McFly Foam Halo: Champagne or Cotton Candy Glo-Bug Yarn Tying notes: Start thread and put down thread base 3/4 way to bend. Work thread back to middle and tie in McFly foam on top of hook and trim to round just like tying an egg pattern. Take thread back to front of egg. Take a short piece of bug yarn and pull off small piece of that lengthwise. Fan out material to make a very thin square piece; try to make thin sheen of material as uniform in thickness as possible to avoid any clumping when tying in. Take material and poke over eye of the hook in the middle and tie in half on opposite side of hook with one turn, then fold back material on near side of hook and tie in. Hold bug yarn back over egg and make a couple more turns to secure material and finish. Trim yarn to back of egg.
This pattern isn't done justice until you put it in the water. Tie one up and drop it in a cup of water and seeing is believing. Bug yarn becomes translucent and makes the egg look milky in the water. The best producing egg pattern I've tried. Simple Foam Beetle

Hook: Orvis 1523; Sizes 16-22 Thread: Uni 8/0; Black Abdomen/Body: Black Foam Legs: Black Elk hair Wing: White Antron or Glo-bug Yarn Tying notes: Take foam and singe edges with lighter to give a softer look. Start thread and tie in foam length of hook in tight wraps giving the body a compressed, uniform shape. Work thread back to just behind hook eye and fold foam over mak- ing the back. Tie in neck with a couple turns and take 3-4 elk hair fibers and tie on back with figure eight. Elk hair will naturally fan out making legs, trim to length. Take wing material, really just used as an indicator post so you can see a black fly, and tie in. Finish fly and trim excess foam in front of hook eye to make head.
Easy and effective beetle pattern that floats well. I have found success with small sizes, 18-20, on small streams.

Note: I have not fished this fly yet, but when tank tested, I could hardly believe how realistic it looked on the water. It should make an excellent imitation of a dun and spinner of all mayfly spe- cies, with a few simple adjustments of thread and hair colors. Enjoy! Midge Pupa

Considering the trout attracting power of bead head nymphs, I thought why not bring some flash to surface patterns. The bead emulates the light focused by the surface tension dimples cre- ated by the insect’s feet on the water surface. Plastic beads are light and can be supported by most standard floatation techniques. The beads can be purchased in a craft store, but don’t come counter drilled, so you may need to do this your- self. My experience has been that these bead head dry flies work on the dead drift or skated across the surface. Suicide Dragonfly Nymph

This style was named by my best fishing buddy, who upon first seeing the pattern correctly predicted that “it will sweep up all of the trout on the stream.” It is tied back- wards in order to prevent the emerger part from interfering with hook set. The first versions had this problem. There are a couple of ways to ac- complish this pattern. The first is to tie the emerger and add it to the hook before tying the nymph. The alternative is to tie in the emerger un- derbody as you tie the nymph, then complete the fly by turning the hook around in the vise to tie the emerger.
Basic instructions: Turn the hook around back- wards and tie the head at the start of the hook bend. Tie in the Emerger underbody, or com- pleted emerger. Tie in two pieces of wing case material and dub the thorax. Take the two win case pieces around either side of the under- body/emerger, and tie down. Tie in tail and wire before dubbing backwards to the eye of the hook. Wrap gold wire back and tie off thread. Head ce- ment this junction as well as the nymph head. The emerger part can be created by tying in the CDC and over wrapping the butts as you dub the body, tie in the hack tip and wrap 4-5 times, followed by tieng off the hackle and creating the head.

Note: In the late 1980’s when I was trying to design my first fly, the Epoxy Charlie, the Mini Puff was an- other fly that I was tying a lot of and had the pos- sibility of becoming a very good epoxy adaptation.
“Como comenzar a pescar con mosca y no desesperarse en el intento” Gerardo Herreros 224
The Epoxy Mini Puff was developed almost side by side with the Epoxy Charlie. I used flash a bou initially for the head and then progressed to crys- tal flash and finally the Kreinik’s Fly tyers Ribbon. I used these materials and coated them with clear epoxy.
As I became more involved in epoxy flies, I was shown how to dye epoxy, using Rit dye and 70% isopropyl alcohol and to tint the epoxy using enamel paint. This led to just tying on the bead chain eyes and applying either a tinted or dyed epoxy to give a solid head of epoxy that was ei- ther semi-transparent or opaque. NOTE: See arti- cle on “Working with Epoxies” for exactly how to do this.
I never really promoted this fly but it was carried by Kaufmann’s Streamborn while I was tying for them. I never sent a sample to Umpqua so they did not put it under contract.
Generally bead chain eyes are used but you can use bar bell eyes but the fly will sink like a rock.
Numerous colors can be used. I generally tied this fly with a pink head (either the Fly Tyer’s Ribbon over coated with clear epoxy) or a tinted pink ep- oxy. The pink had either a pink or tan wing. The brown was either a gold head coated with clear epoxy or a tinted brown solid epoxy head. The white had a silver head or a colored white head. The tan had either a pearly head or a dyed tan solid epoxy head.
Other colors may be used to include a chartreuse head with either a chartreuse or white wing, or- ange head with either a brown or tan wing, brown head with an orange wing and an all yellow.
All of these colors can be tied with either a Kre- inik’s Fly Tyer’s Ribbon head coated with clear epoxy or a head of solid epoxy tinted or colored. Either way, these are very effective flies.
If you really want to get fancy, add some very fine pearl flask to either the dyed or colored epoxy.

Notice that on this version of the Deceiver there is no body (optional) and no peacock herl.
Lefty says that the body is not necessary but is an option if you so desire. No Name Shark Fly

Con las distintas variaciones que Jim ata de su mosca se puede pescar, y de hecho él lo hace, todo tipo de peces. Sus moscas han pescado truchas, además de steelhead, marrones anádromas, todos los salmones del Pacífico, salmón del Atlántico, por nombrar algunos de agua dulce. En agua salada han pescado bonefish, tarpones, barracudas, permit, jack crevalle, entre muchos otros. La técnica de atado de las moscas de Jim Teeny es sumamente simple. Se enrolla sobre la pata de un an- zuelo para ninfas o moscas húmedas un mechón de fibras de la pluma de la cola de un faisán de collar, co- mo queda dicho, y de color natural si se trata de una Teeny Nymph original. Se sujeta el mechón por su ca- bo al final de la pata del anzuelo, dejando unos tres milímetros del cabo como bajo cuerpo, enrollando el mechón luego hacia delante dejando las puntas como patas / barbas de la mosca (ver foto Teeny Nymph Original). Tomando como base este concepto, se pueden hacer diferentes modelos de moscas, como streamers, sal- moneras, para steelhead, o ninfas de todo tipo. El cuerpo base explicado en el párrafo anterior, se puede

“Como comenzar a pescar con mosca y no desesperarse en el intento” Gerardo Herreros 231 repetir varias veces en un anzuelo de pata larga, por ejemplo, agregándole una cola antes y un ala después, del mismo color de los cuerpos o con colores combinados, brillantes u opacos para steelhead y marrones anádromas y colores más naturales para truchas residentes. Sería interesante probarlas también con nues- tros dorados y taruchas. Si Jim pesca bien especies marinas de gran tamaño y combatividad no sería de ex- trañar el éxito que podría tener con nuestras especies autóctonas de agua dulce.
Teeny Nymph original
La Teeny Nymph original, arriba izquierda, y dos variantes de la misma mosca.
Teeny Leech
Otra variante, con doble cuerpo pero esta vez con el agregado de la cola.
Teeny Egg Sucking Leech
“Como comenzar a pescar con mosca y no desesperarse en el intento” Gerardo Herreros 232
La misma Leech que las anteriores pero con cabeza de hilo rojo simulando un huevo.
Teeny Streamers
A la Leech se le agrega un ala y algunos brillos y se produce un streamer sumamente efectivo.
Teeny Flash Flies
“Como comenzar a pescar con mosca y no desesperarse en el intento” Gerardo Herreros 233
Si a los streamers o leeches los atamos con colores llamativos tenemos como resultado unas excelentes y pescadoras moscas para steelhead.
Teeny Flash Flies
Mas variantes de las Teeny Flash Flies, éstas mas pequeñas y muy efectivas como atractoras.
