Tying the CDC Split Wing Sparkle Dun
Tying the CDC Split Wing Sparkle Dun
The name is a mouthful. Got to improve the fly naming skills. Well it works anyway.
Blue Winged Olives (aka Baetis) create superb early and late season hatches. This simple but effective take on the sparkle dun pattern features a split CDC wing. Fish this fly as fish begin to feed on the surface. Its fine if the fly hangs a bit in the film. This fly can even be tied on a curved shank emerger hook to fish as an emerger.

Hans' Sowbug
Tying Hans' Sowbug
Hans' Sowbug is an alternative to some of the more common sowbug patterns. This pattern has worked quite well on the Bighorn River. The Ray Charles pattern works great, but it is nice to have a slightly different fly to try if the fish get picky.
