7-18-2013 Callibaetis RS-2 

Well I can't say this is an original of mine unless my name is Pat Dorsey, and it's not. That being said, I just gave an old standard a new touch. Try this thing when RS-2's are popping in general, and especially when BWO's are coming off. And hold on.



Hook: #16-24 Tiemco 101

Thread: I don't know the exact color because the label fell off. I do know that it is a Danville spool and that it's essentially an olive. However, when you look at the spool compared to a true olive spool, this is much more golden in color.

Tail: Dun colored mayfly tails

Wing: Bright White Antron

Thorax: Super Fine Callibaetis

7-18-2013 LZ Prince (Black)

Guides, take note. This is one of the hottest little stone nymphs in my box. It is a mix between a standard prince nymph and a Psycho prince. Here are the big differences on this fly that I really like. First, it uses no hackle, I know nothing beats the real thing. Trust me, I know. But with that said, a working man (especially a guide) can't tye flies all the time. And without the hackle, this fly is a much quicker tye than your ole' standard. And much cheaper as well.

Secondly, without the hackle, this fly is more durable. I like that, and so do most guides. With most princes, that hackle sees enough trout dentures and it's all but done.

Third, I kept the gold tinsel from the old standard as opposed to the wire that is used on the psycho prince. Why? Because I think the tinsel is less restrictive than the wire and therefore allows the dubbing to look more buggy. It's not packed in so tight as with a wire rib and it allows more movement.

I like to tye this fly in all kinds of colors. One of my favorites is red ice dubbing. Why red??  Hey, why purple (psycho prince)??  If it works...  

Why is it called an LZ prince? 2 reasons. Because it's the 'lazy' man's (see fly fishing guide) prince pattern of choice because of how easy it is to tye comparatively to a normal prince. Second, once you tie it on to the end of your line...you just gotta bring those trout to the net, or as I call it- the landing zone. Or LZ for short.

Tye it up, tie it on and bring em' home.

Hook: #10-18 Tiemco 5262
Bead: Gold, black or any other color you like. Change it up. Maybe try some tungsten.
Weight: Lead wire, sized to hook.
Thread: Black, or just match color dubbing.
Tail: Black goose biots
Rib: Gold oval tinsel
Body: Black ice dubbing
Head: Wrap with dubbing to cover thread. Make whip knot compact.
Horns: White goose biots


Note: For a more leggy looking little bug, pack on just a little extra dubbing towards the front and then pick it out. Rough it up with the female side of some Velcro if desired.

Note: Try tying on some different colored biots. Perhaps some white tails and white horns. That would be a great contrast. (Look for it soon on here).  Those white tails can be the ticket some times (see 20"er). Or try something else. Mix it up.

Look for more recipes coming soon including:

Hullablueza, Olive Pheasant tails, and a Hull's B/C midge.
