I think I'll start the fly of the week and see how it goes. This is my Baetis Soft Hackle. This is my no #1 fly in the Fall on the Truckee River. I fish it deep on a nymph rig, or sometimes higher up off a tippet ring on a nymph rig. You can fish it off a back of a dry in the film, or swing it through a pod of rising fish. It just works...
Hook: Tiemco 2487 size #16

Body: Uni 8/0 Iron Gray
Thorax: Wapsi Life Cycle Caddis Dubbing Gray

Yes, it does work. Quite well I must say. I've caught lots of fish using that fly. Both used as a nymph and a dry tied behind a bigger dry fly with some shake on it. I'm a little worried because I'm down to my last one!
Ahh shit dude, I owe you some flies. I'm gonna get tying.
I thought it was the bacon and eggs.
And the captcha below me right now says "Shitcat". Awesome!
Sweet and simple I like it! How would this work on the E. Walker?
Mat this fly is awesome
