Tying Flies

And yet another Golden Stone pattern

D-Rib Golden Stone Fly by Carl Pennington, 11/07/09 from Juan Ramirez on Vimeo.
Ok, I’ll get onto something else now. Obviously I like fishing golden stone fly nymphs so I was just prowling around the web to see what was about. I like this one because it doesn’t have the thorax dubbing overload that this pattern [...]

Golden Stone Pattern

by Wayne Mumford April 13, 2010

The golden stone fly is just about everywhere in the faster, rocky bottom waters of Montana.
This pattern caught my eye because it’s pretty simple and looks good. It’s a little overstuffed for my tastes, I’d probably cut back on the dubbing some and maybe use a hopper hook but otherwise it looks like it should [...]

Ok, so this is nothing really new, it’s a dubbing brush twister aka dubbing brush machine- whatever. It makes dubbing brushes. This particular one is ugly, fairly primitive, has no distinctive little brass goo-gaws and you will probably  hide it behind all the brand name stuff on the fly tying bench. Will you care if [...]

Lucky’s Dubbing Brush Twister

by Wayne Mumford December 29, 2009

Awhile back Lucky Sultz who steers the boat over at Button Valley Bugle, caught an article I posted on dubbing brush machines and mentioned one he put together. I asked if he’d be interested in sharing his project and he, being a good sport, offered up the goods.
With winter now well under way and fly [...]

Whitetails in Montana

I’m really not much of a big game hunter and definitely not a horn or trophy hunter. My idea of hunting is much more culinary in nature, shoot the first legal size animal that comes along that’s in good shape and head home to more pressing (fishing type) matters. Pretty much opposite my approach to [...]
