The Bomb gets your flies to the bottom quick. Best of all you don't need additional weight in the form of split shot or tungsten putty. No more hinging and tangling nymph rigs. Tie these in the colors to match caddis larvae, cranefly larvae, or scuds. I routinely use this as my lead fly and drop one or two droppers behind it.

Tying Hans' Spring Soft Hackle
This easy to tie soft hackle pattern takes early season trout feeding on midges or emerging baetis mayflies. The purple thorax seems to be a trigger to trout. This fly can be fished deep behind a nymph, on the swing, or as a dropper a few inches behind a dry fly.

Fly Fishing in Pierre for Rainbows
Fishing in Pierre this past Sunday for rainbows was the best I have seen. Four anglers made the trek over and we all caught fish. That seldom happens in the trout fishery that exists for a brief period each spring. My experience is usually casting for hours into a 50 mph wind all day without the hint of a bite. This time was different. Here are some photos to prove it:

Tying the Hydropsyche Caddis Larvae
This has been a solid producer for me in areas with good populations of free swimming caddis larvae.
This pattern is very similar to the caddis patterns of Oliver Edwards. Thanks for the great tips and instruction Oliver!
The legs are a great addition to any caddis larva pattern, or stoneflies and clinger mayfly nymphs.

Tying the Tungsten Psycho Nymph
This is a great nymph from Solitude flies. We used this pattern many a day this past summer. In the smaller sizes it does a great job imitating a variety of mayfly nymphs. It is also a good attractor when tied in larger sizes.
