Elk Hair Caddis, Stimulators, New C.L. Hull Original

   Check out the 'Flies for sale Page' for some new patterns, including a new C.L. Hull original and some old standards, including the Elk Hair Caddis and the Stimulator; 2 must haves for any trout angler. The Elk Hair Caddis is your standard old caddis. You can get them with an indicator tied in, but I keep em pretty simple.

   As for the Stimulators, imagination is the only limitation. You can purchase the basic plain stimulator, or you can add on all your options such as an indicator wing, sparkle wing (crystal wing), or even some rubber legs. Buy these trout killers in some 'different than what you find at the shop' patterns and colors; including a really hot all olive pattern, and a peacock stimulator with an abdomen and thorax completely tied out ofpeacock herl; a real beautiful fly.

   Also, check out my new original pattern, the Mirage Soft Hackle nymph. This fly is a culmination of tying with different materials, using different tying techniques, and drawing upon some basic fly fishing principles, eg. pheasant tails and prince nymphs catch fish and you got to get the fly in front of the fish. So with that said, and really feeling the desire to just throw something different in front of some high pressured trout, I got to thinking. And thinking. And then some more. And then I thought I had it. So I went to the bench, tied one up. Looked at it. That wasn't it. So I thought about it some more. Then I came back to the bench a couple days later. Tied it up. Immediately knew that was it.

   Took it out a few days later on a guide trip. Fishing was good, not great. I pulled out the Mirage, and it was game on. This thing was pulling trout in every other cast, and they were all larger than normal. Final hole, it pulled out a 15" brown out of Boulder Creek. That was it.

   So below is a pic of that new little fly. Let me just say, the photo does not do this thing justice. I have tried to capture all the color, but it's hard with my camera. And I have a decently nice camera. Once you see these things in real life, you are immediately drawn to them. Lots of color, lots of weight, lots of fish. I picture the peacock color, but it is available in lime as well. Check it out.
