Danoinark Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 Brian, Let us know about the ones above, did we get any right???? Dano Glass Has Class "from the laid back lane in the Arkansas Ozarks"
CaptainT16 Posted February 25, 2006 Posted February 25, 2006 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
mizzouflyfisher Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 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. Kyle
Brian K. Shaffer Posted February 26, 2006 Author Posted February 26, 2006 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..

jjtroutbum Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 Great thread think Dano is the mano, and the Mis knows his. Keep it up I'll give it a try next time..

mizzouflyfisher Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 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.
