Fly Tying: Brown Owl
Last Updated: March 22, 2017 by Drew Kasel Leave a Comment

If the history of fly fishing is viewed in the mirror of time, dry-fly fishing is a relatively new invention, appearing only about 150 years ago. Wet-fly fishing, on the other hand, existed for centuries before the words “dry” and “fly” were first juxtaposed. One of the cornerstones of wet-fly fishing as practiced today developed slowly but steadily in the north of England during those wet-fly-only centuries. This unique style of fly tying and fishing originated in and around Yorkshire, which is north of the midlands and south of Scotland. Yorkshire is a land of striking natural beauty, with expansive moorlands, dense woodlands, cascading waterfalls, glacially carved mountains, and rich beautiful valleys. It is a land of swift stony-bottomed rivers that drain the English highlands. Yorkshire rivers are home to ancient brown trout and centuries-old fly-fishing traditions. They are the birthplace, incubator, and laboratory of “the North-Country style” of fishing. Flies and methods of the North Country were refined for centuries by observant and talented Yorkshire anglers. Read More

Fly Tying: Elk Hair Caddis

Think about your favorite dry fly. What makes it great? Maybe it’s a quick and easy tie with inexpensive materials? Or, maybe it’s durable and highly visible on the water? Floats like a cork? Imitates insects found everywhere? Indeed, these are traits of great flies. Perhaps the most important feature, how-ever, is a fly having universal appeal to trout. Only the rarest of flies combine all of these traits, and you will be wise to fill your fly box with them. Al Troth’s Elk Hair Caddis is one such fly. Mr. Troth merged key features of two ageless caddis imitations into a truly fine pattern, one that is a blend of simplicity, impressionism, and uncanny effectiveness. Read More
