WEEEEEEE......This is fun. Now I just have to start guessing on some of these!

"He told us about Christ's disciples being fisherman, and we were left to assume...that all great fishermen on the Sea of Galilee were fly fisherman and that John, the favorite, was a dry-fly fisherman." - Norman Maclean-A River Runs Through It

Brian-

Is that a griffith's gnat tied on a scud hook. Very intriguing. Also, the midge would appear to be a TMC 2487, but the gap seems narrower than I would expect. But maybe I expect wrong.

Dano and all -

1. Joe Humphrey's Cress Bug (similar to scuds & sowbugs)

2. Parachute Adams

3. Flesh Fly

4. Blue Charm

5. Tungheadds Pheasant Tail

The fly hook in question is listed on the O/A site under recipes as the Thread Midge.. but the hook listed is wrong. I believe the hook shown is a 2487.. but it says to tie it on a TMC200R..

Just once I wish a trout would wink at me!

Great thread think Dano is the mano, and the Mis knows his. Keep it up I'll give it a try next time..

What is the difference between the cress bug and a griffith's gnat. The cress bug appears to be just peacock and grizzly hackle on a scud hook. I like the looks of it, but has anybody had any luck fishing this fly dead drift? Maybe not here, but I hear up in Iowa and Minnesota the cress bug is an important food source.
