Fly of the week

This is our second fly of the week. As with our last one it is great for fishing right now on our rivers here in Utah. If you have any questions or suggestions please feel free to email me or leave a comment. This week we have chosen to spotlight a fly that can be used as effectively in the summer and the winter. Its a foam beetle. I am going to give a weighted recipe for this one. During the summer I use a floater on the rivers. The weighted beetle simulates the underwater beetles that we don't always think about as being a good trout fly. Nothing could be further from the truth. Trout eat a lot of beetles and beetles are in all the waters that have trout. Recipe: Hook: Daiichi 1180 size 16 String: Black 6/0 Weight: lead wire under body Belly: peacock hurl Legs: wapsi rrm100 Body: black foam Try dead drifting it past a hungry trout and you will love it.

Provo river,warm winter

The Provo river right now has some great dry fly hatches going on. Blue winged olives and small midges are plentiful and the fish are willing to bite. They are also going after nymphs and some streamers. Hope you can get out and have tight lines.

Fly of the week

We are going to start doing a fly of the week. I am hoping to hit some flies that I feel are good for the conditions.

The first fly we are going to feature is the copper John. It can be used as a traditional nymph or stripped like a streamer. It also has both wire and a bead head making it sink without split-shot. Here is the recipe for it: Hook:3761 or 5262, sizes 10-18 weight to suit Head: gold bead Thread: Black Tail: brown turkey biot, V style Abdomen: copper ultra wire Thorax: peacock hurl Legs: brown partridge, tied divided style. Let me know what types of flies you want to see in this. We are going to be doing one a week as well as our other posts about fishing conditions.
