First honest attempt at a Royal Coachman. Needs work, but I think it’ll fish.

I’m still getting started and I don’t yet possess the skills or materials to do anything super realistic. But I messed around with melting 40lb monofilament to make eyes and antennae, and made this little baby craw on a #8 60-degree jig hook.
Should be a good bass pattern, especially if I refine it a little bit!

So I tie a few flies a week…got my wife into it too now…showed her how to tie my little redhead jig pattern for crappies/panfish/etc (3rd pic is her first solo attempt), and by golly they work!
Got out on the yaks before it got oppressively hot here in TX and we both netted a couple white bass. These suckers are a blast on fly tackle, even a 10” fish can pull drag!

Uh oh. Now my wife is getting into fly tying too. RIP my wallet! 😂😂 I showed her how to make my crappie jig pattern, 2nd pic is her first solo attempt at it!

Spent my lunch break tying a batch of marabou crappie jigs
I am really digging tying these with red thread. I like the color pop around the dumbbell eyes. These are easy and quick! Marabou tail, chenille body, couple strands of fish flash on the underside, boom! Can’t wait to get after some slabs!

This is why I put Tiger Everest tips on every playing cue I own. This is my main shooter… this tip has been on for months and I haven’t had to shape it once since I shaped it on initial install. And I play a LOT.
Only thing I have done to this tip is scuff it when needed. These Everest tips are built like tanks. If you don’t mind a firmer and louder hit (I love it so they’re great for me), these things are awesome.

Just got married last week to a woman who loves fishing as much as I do. Our honeymoon was a camping/fly fishing trip to the Rockies. I lost count of how many trout we caught…I made a montage video of the trip and recorded a little tune to go with it. Hope you enjoy!
Lots of little brownies and some rainbows in the creek, and some crappie and smallmouth in the lake! I set up all my fly tying equipment at the campsite…I would tie a few when we woke up each day and then we’d head out to the creek. Most of these fish were caught on those hand-ties! Released most fish, but definitely kept a couple for lunch/dinner each day. Can’t beat fresh trout.

Tied this black/red nymph this morning at the campsite. Proceeded to catch a bunch of brown trout on it. My wife caught a couple on it too! Last picture is the current state of the fly…officially retiring this one. It has done its duty!

Well, I did it. I have fly fished for years and have been successful…but this here is the first trout I have ever caught on a fly I tied myself.
Just kind of a bastardized Adams with pheasant tail, dubbed body and no wings, just hackle. This brown wasted no time coming up to grab it!!!

Saw this weird pattern called a “double ugly” in an old book of mine, supposedly was a popular pattern at the Green River at the time. Think I got pretty close! Also a psychedelic wooly bugger.
This thing is big for a dry fly. But with so much hackle I bet it’ll float through class 5 rapids 😂

Got a couple Tucktec folding yaks for my future wife and I, so we can take them on our honeymoon fishing in west Colorado! Took them out for their maiden voyage today. Love em!
Assembly was easy. Folding it back together at the end was a bit tougher, but we got it! I wouldn’t recommend these for any type of faster water…these are flat water yaks for sure. We were floating a slow section of a river below a reservoir, the lakes are at normal pool so no water is being released. But they are easy to carry, they float well, and we had zero issues. And got some pretty spotted bass, longears, crappies, and a nice largemouth to christen ‘em with!

Still getting into it…never tried tying a nymph before, just experimenting here but I kinda like this one. Fred seems to approve.

Getting back into it, haven’t tied flies in over 20 years. Getting some stuff tied for our honeymoon Colorado fly fishing trip in a couple weeks!
I present to you my feeble attempts at making things fish might eat. Adams, some kind of wooly bugger, and since I couldn’t find any wing material, a “plebeian coachman” with just grizzly hackle…and a black leech-type thing which has been working well on bass around here already.

Absolutely smashed my PB with this brute.
Didn’t even know there were carp in this pond, literally a 3-minute drive from the house. Fiancee and I were using our carp pack bait rigs to try to catch a couple stocker catfish for dinner…which we did…but then one of the rods doubled over and the drag started screaming. Surprised the crap (carp?) out of me!!!

I forgot to post this one too, gotta brag on my fiancee! She participated in her very first tournament last month, a ladies’ kayak bass fishing tournament, and took 3rd place! Wacky rig got it done for her!

Throwback to this time last year, when my lady and I doubled up with wacky rigs!

Love fly fishing for bass! Caught a couple little ones this evening on one of my homemade leech pattern woolly buggers.
Even the little ones put up a nice fight on a fly rod! And it’s extra bonus to catch ‘em on flies you tied yourself! I use the soft downy afterfeathers and stack them all the way to the head of the fly to make the body. These soft feathers give a REALLY flowy and natural action in the water.
