First thing though I need a little something to get my creative juices flowing. I think Son Volt's The Search will do the trick. I have not listened to this album in a while. With this playing in the back ground, I kept thinking to myself, "Why don't I listen to this album more often". Jay Farrar is at his best on this album.
So here is what I came up with, fly-wise. I know, not too original, but still new for me and they look like they will catch fish. Then again, you never know. Does anybody know the names of these two patterns?
Number One: I checked it does sink when wet and the movement of the CDC should be enticing.
Hook: Mustad 3906
Thread: Uni 8/0 Tan
Body: Natural CDC Feather Wrapped along hook like the CDC and Elk
Thorax: Peacock Herl
Hackle: Hungarian Partirdge
Number Two: For some reason this is the one I really like. Just something about it. I know this is more of an old English style of wet fly. I had seen the two hackles (one in front of the other on another) fly and thought it was interesting.
Hook: Mustad 3906
Thread: Uni 8/0 Black
Tail: Black Hen Hackle Fibers
Rib: Silver Wire
Body: Black Floss
Back Hackle: Black Hen Hackle
Front Hackle: Dun Hen Hackle
