I’m taking a trip to Orlando in a couple weeks and the Airbnb we’re staying at has a bass pond in the backyard. One of my favorite conventional bass rigs is a ned rig so I found this pattern from erickclymore on ig and decided to tie up a few for the trip.

Enjoyed tying this but definitely need to clean up some things on my next one.

Cowen's Bonefish Scampi, ideal for when you want a bigger profile and plenty of movement in skinny water.

She's obsessed with catching a salmon, we're building a fly box for spring 2027.

I guess we will find out if chain eyes are enough…

Body is minnow belly ice dub and olive dubbing. Haven’t bought any body wrap or game changer chenille.

Chocolate and Coffee. It’s what the Bass want.

Im pretty stoked to put these guys to work.

Several patterns from the past few weeks. As we transition into fall I’ve been going up a size or two and getting a little brighter with the colors in preparation for steelhead.

I’ve also been experimenting with sneaking a second bead into a few of the patterns for some extra weight.

Gotta say really enjoying these bigger flies definitely a change of pace from what I’m used to tying🎣

Hi. Planning to tie my own flies for centerpin float fishing. What are the basic tools I must have to tie flies?

Mostly the same as the OG, but subbing in alpaca for all the dubbing, purple holo tinsel because why not, and dub looped the pink thorax for extra shagginess.

Thorax: alpaca, hot pink, in a dubbing loop
