"Comments": "White Lake in the Shuswap Region of British Columbia is one of my favorite lakes for big rainbow trout! Even though it is a two hour drive from where I live, I fish this lake several times times a year! Part of the reason, other than the magnificently beautiful setting, the abundance of wildlife, and the clear water with a marl/weed covered bottom, is that the huge rainbow residents can be caught on tiny chironomids if presented in the correct manner! I use a floating line and about a 16 foot leader with a weighted, size 14 chironomid. I try to anchor in 30 to 35 feet of water and cast in to drop-offs where the water depth is around 18 feet. Often, lunker trout can be seen cruising near the bottom when their feeding mode is on! That is when the floating fly line/long leader technique comes into its own, providing that you have the right chironomid such as described below!",

I have some small transformers taken from old radio equipment that features very fine copper wire in the windings. Tie in a piece of such wire behind the lead and then a piece of black wool, cinching it down at the hook bend. Other materials and colors can be used for the body but I find black wool produces as well as anything else! The key is to use a very thin amount so that the body, at least to the lead wrap, is extremely slender. After winding the wool to the bead, counter wrap the fine copper wire to form a rib and tie off at the glass bead. Cement and you are finished! This year, I have had more success with a clear or white bead rather than a customary red bead. Why? Could it be that the white bead resembles chironomid gills or is the flash of a clear bead irresistible to those giant White Lake rainbows? Try it yourself and find out!",

"Comments": "In 1997, the ice on White Lake cleared on April 17. After a long, snowy winter, the craving was strong to dip a fly in that fabulous rainbow lake. It wasn't until Sunday the 20th that I was free to try my luck. I had tied up several brown leeches modified from a commercial version that was rather successful in early spring of the previous year on White. As luck would have it, just as we arrived at the lake, a steady rain started to come down. We waited for a time but the urge to fish was just too strong and even though I had forgotten to bring my rain pants, we headed out on the water. And pour it did, alternating between a steady drizzle and violent downpours! After an hour or so, my jeans felt like I had walked through a car wash and the wind gusts began to feel oh so cold. However, just as we were talking about heading in, a strike rocked my fly rod and about a 3 pound White Lake rainbow leaping wildly behind the car topper, my brown leech embedded in its jaw. The fish fought stubbornly in the steady down pour but when I began to think about the landing net, a quick flip and the rainbow was free. The barbless hook had either worked loose or I was not diligent in keeping a tight enough line.",
"Dressing": "Hook : size 6 or 8\r\nTail : Red cotton embroidery floss\r\nBody : Rust chenille\r\nHead : Small gold bead\r\nWing : Deep brown marabou\r\nThread :Invisible mending",
"DressingTechniques": "Start by crimping the hook barb in order to slide the small gold bead through to the fly eye. I buy a lot of my fly tying materials in sewing shops, including the embroidery floss, the beads and the invisible thread used to tie this fly. I tie some of these flies weighted because in the first few weeks after ice-out, the fish are often deep, perhaps to avoid the oxygen depleted water near the surface. Therefore, wind about 8 turns of fine lead wire just behind the gold bead. The tail is next and I double a folded length of embroidery thread to extend about one quarter inch behind the hook bend, half hitch along the hook shank, and then I cut the extended loop so that 4 strands of the floss make up the tail. Then wind your rust chenille from the bend to the gold bead and tie off. The final step is to tie in the marabou wing and here is where the invisible thread is invaluable! I use 4 or 5 separate pieces of marabou and start by tying in the first piece about 1/4 inch from the hook bend, working in each piece of marabou until I reach the gold bead at the fly head. Each piece of marabou is cut in length to reach about 3/4 inch behind the hook bend before tying it in, i.e., you end up with a marabou back of uniform length. The invisible thread allows you to tie in each separate piece along the hook shank without much distortion to the chenille body! Cement and whip finish at the head and you have just completed a winning rainbow trout fly.\r\nMustad 79580",

I recall an occasion when my friend, Tony Lillington, won the High Lakes BC Tel fishing derby using a large green sedge pupa on a sink tip fly line. Only an occasional sedge was actually hatching so Tony patiently worked the shoals at Doreen lake with the big sedge pupa and was rewarded with the largest fish of the derby!",

Start by fixing your tying thread to the hook shank and form a dubbing loop for an ample amount of seal hair. Twist the loop to get that frizzled perpendicular look of the hair and wind the loop from the hook bend to hook eye, in a fairly large cigar shape, i.e., slightly thinner at the tail and head. An option is to add a gold mylar rib and also sometimes quite effective, a blue or light green wool rib to segment the body. Next, wind in one turn of brown pheasant feather to form a hackle at the hook eye so that it angles back when tied down. Clip the top fibers of pheasant feather off and then wind in a head using 4 strands of peacock herl. As you finish the head, tie the herl down on the body side, ie, away from the eye and allow the 4 strands to project back over the body to form the thorax or wing case. Clip the strands off at 1/4 inch, add some head cement and you have finished the Doreen Lake sedge pupa.\r\nMustad 9671",

However, the effectiveness of this fly is not just restricted to rivers but it can at times perform marvelously well in such great still water places like Dragon Lake, which is a few kilometers south of Quesnel. Earl used a philosophy that big flies can catch big fish and I have found that to be certainly true while fishing for those huge rainbows in Dragon Lake using the Earl Anderson stonefly nymph.",

"DressingTechniques": "The best wool for the fly body is a course, large variety, almost approaching the size of some smaller yarns used by steelheaders. Start by wrapping the yellow wool hook bend to eye in a fairly loose manner and tie off. Then lay a smaller strand of rich dark brown wool along the top of the body and starting at the hook eye, run your tying thread to the hook bend and back again purposely creating bumps in the brown wool back. The spacing of the tying thread wraps should be far enough apart to allow you to use tweezers to pull out the yellow wool between the thread gaps all along the body. Next tie in an olive green hackle starting 1/2 way from the hook bend and palmer it forward to the hook eye. Trim off the top half of the olive hackle to create the illusion of legs. Note that you could have palmered in the leg hackle prior to placing the top brown wool body overlay but the top hackle stubs left after trimming sometimes adds to the effectiveness of the fly. The last step is to place a few turns of peacock herl to form a head at the hook eye, whip finish, cement and you have just created a famous BC fly, the Earl Anderson stone nymph!\r\nMustad 9672",

Either casting from an anchored car topper with a sink tip line or slow trolling on a #2 wet line, the Campbell Lake rainbows seemed to relish Joe's fly, taking it boldly with explosive strikes!

The next step is to wrap an orange wool body hook bend to hook eye, keeping it on the slender side. Now palmer the grizzly hackle from the tail to the hook eye with 5 or 6 evenly spaced wraps.

It is organized by the winner of the previous year and is more of a social event than a serious fishing outing. However, to its credit, fly fishing is the favored method of trout pursuit in the plateau lakes to the east of the Central Okanagan Valley. A rustic trophy that depicts the annual winners back to 1978 is the Stanley Cup of this derby and while many say they hope they do not win because of the organizational effort to put on the following year's derby, it is indeed a special honor to be a winner! The largest trout caught for the 3 day weekend is the objective, not the quantity of fish caught, so I find that after taking one or two larger trout, all the rest are released. I was using a small green chironomid when I landed a trout that won this event a third time for me! Most fly fishers in Western Canada favor dark chironomids but this fly is tied with a light green body and can be extremely effective when the traditional black and brown chironomids are just not working!",

Next, tie in a piece of brown rod winding thread along the hook shank so that it extends about four inches past the hook bend. Then tie in a short piece of the brown pheasant feather on top of the lead which should not extend more than 1/3 the length of the hook shank. Let the loose part of the pheasant feather extend back to the hook bend. The next step is to thinly wrap in the light green wool from the hook bend to the eye, leaving the untied pheasant feather still exposed. Then rib the body with the brown rod tying thread from the hook bend to where the pheasant feather is exposed and tie off there. Before pulling the pheasant feather forward to form the thorax, tie in a small white ostrich hurl by figure eighting with your invisible tying thread at the hook eye to create a gill that protrudes about 1/8 inch from each side of the head.

It took me quite a few attemps before I was satisfied with the density of the fly - density enough to represent the solid body.The floowing evening, as the beatles were again emerging, and the fish starting to rise, I put my \"Beatle\" on and cast out. Within seconds a fish rose to it. I struck and missed! Eventually I discovered that by waiting about 5 seconds before striking, I connected every time. What a sport! Those fish caught on the Troutbeck Beatle were all big fish.",

"CountryOfOrigin": "America",
"Comments": "The exact origin and birth date of the Yallarhammer pattern has apparently been lost in the mists of pre-recorded North American history. Unfortunately, American Indians did not have written languages and passed their histories and customs down as oral histories. It is generally accepted that it was the Cherokees who first brought down a Yellow-shafted Flicker with a blowgun, wrapped its bright quill around a hook, and caught a trout. Maybe they first tied the fly as they tied the deer hair fly, reverse Palmer style. However, the Cherokee as an invader of the Southeastern United States may have simply adapted what those they drove out already were doing. Nevertheless, whatever the particulars it is clear that the Yallarhammer fly pattern pre-dated European settlement of the America.\r\n\tOne early written description of the style of tying the Yallarhammer is outlined in a letter from J. H. Stewart, Jackson, MS, 1887 to Mary Orvis Marbury (yes that Orvis). This letter was later published in Ms. Marbury’s book “Favorite Flies and Their Histories”.\r\n\t\"The two specimen flies which I enclose you will see are reversed hackles, made by cutting narrow strips of deerskin with the hair left on, wrapped around the hook a few times, and well tied at each end. The North Carolina Indians (Cherokee) tie them to perfection, using some sort of cement or waterproof varnish over the thread, and for the bodies the various colors and length of hair from different skins, but usually rather stiff hair, preferring it from the deer's legs. They often cut the hair off and use it without the skin, but made in this way the flies are not as durable. They use feathers occasionally in the same way…\"\r\n\tThe original Yallarhammer pattern is generally believed not to imitate anything in nature; it's an attractor pattern. However, the streams where it was born do have an abundance of large yellow stonefly nymphs having a general length of about 1 to 2 inches and a generally yellow body color, so it is possible that the original Yallarhammer pattern was an imitation of the large yellow stonefly nymph.",

Tie in the split quail primary flight feather with the exposed interior side of the feather shaft facing up and the feather fibers down against the hook shank.\r\n3. As you start to wrap the split flight feather the tail of the fly is automatically created from the feather fibers at the base end of the split feather shaft caught between the hook shank and the feather shaft.\r\n4. Wrap the split quail primary flight feather forward, in touching turns, to the point where the thread is attached to the front of the hook shank.\r\n5. Tie off the split quail primary flight feather and cut off the excess.\r\n6. Wrap a small neat head, whip finish, and varnish if desired.\r\n7.

Sadly our dam is suffering from over-stocking, and the fish coming out look like eels, they are so thin.\r\nTwo years ago, I took my brother-in-law up to Gubu Dam. It was too windy for John to fish,as he was a completely inexperienced angler.It was blowing a gale. However, I decided to find a sheltered spot on the dam, and found one right in the corner of the dam wall, where the marker for the water level is. My intention was to leave John there. I was going to carry on a further five hundred yards around the forest, where there was very deep water. Before I started off, I fixed up a rod for John, and asked him to choose a fly. He chose a red Marabou fly with a pearl cactus muddler body. I tied this on for him.I then started walking around the path. I tried to fish into the teeth of a gale, and between the wind blowing my line high and my hat being snatched off, I accomplished nothing! Just then, I saw this figure in the distance, coming towards me with his hands in the air, jumping up and down, and yelling with excitement. By this time, I recognised John, and saw that he was holding aloft a very large trout in one hand, and the rod in the other. It was so funny to see, that I dropped my rod, as my hat blew off. When he reached me, he started telling me how he caught this six and a half pound Rainbow hen fish. He said that because of the trees behind him, he threw the fly into the surface of the water, where the fly landed about three feet from the bank. As he went to pick up his rod from the bank, a large trout came from nowhere, and seized the muddler, shooting out for the overflow of the dam, about a hundred yards out.He remember what I had told him to keep his rod up at all times! He did this, and let the fish take line. He let this happen, until he could see the orange backing line getting smaller and smaller. Then he saw the fish jump out of the water, and the line became slack. So he reeled and reeled, and eventually got his line back on. He thought he had lost the fish, until he realized the fish was coming towards him. He kept on reeling. He had no net. He wondered how he was going to land such a big rainbow. So he decided that when he got it in close, he would jump in the water and throw it out onto the bank! It came in right close, and just when he was about to jump in the water, it swirled and went back out again, with the same performance as before. It jumped a few times on its way out, and he then decided to bring it in again. When it was in close, he dropped his rod, and jumped in the water, and threw the fish up onto the bank! Needless to say, the fish was well hooked. He dismantled his rod, (he had no permit and was fishing illegally anyway!) and came looking for me. He said he had never had such a thrill in his whole life. He was seventy two at the time. That fish was frozen here , and went back to Ramsgate on the Natal South coast a week later. Every visitor to the house was shown the trophy. \r\nA few months later, I was on a plane to Durban, when I sat beside the town clerk of Ramsgate.I asked him if he knew John. He said yes! And that was a lovely trout he caught! It seems that everyone by this time had heard of John's catch!",

Yorkshire in ther mid 1800's. \"The original wet fly dressing had an underbody of fawn wool, to better absorbwater, and mallard wing fibers sloped back over the peacock herl covered body. The fly has undergone a few changes down the years; for example at the turn of the century the dry fly had even reached this quiet little backwater on the Rye, and so the Storeys brought it into line by deleting the wool underbody, using a stiff cock hackle and setting the wings upright. It worked very well in its new guise.\"\r\n\"A further change in the design came about in the mid1930's when the fly started to sport a wing that had a very pronounced forward slope over the eye...

"CountryOfOrigin": "Tasmania",
"Comments": "The Snail Thong should be presented about a yard in front of tailing trout, but for spookier fish the fly can be presented well out in front of the fish, safe in the knowledge that it will be sitting up irresistibly in front of them as they swim past. Judging the strike can be difficult because it involves a combination of watching for a swirl on the fly or for the leader to move and a lot of gut feeling as to\r\nwhether the fish has the fly.\r\nAs far as I can determine, the Thong nymph was first described in Paul Marriner's contribution to The Worlds Best Trout Flies. The secret of the Thong is that it is weighted so that it only just sinks, and as soon as it touches the bottom, or weed near the bottom, the fly rests on its tail of hackle fibres instead of sinking out of sight. Later, I developed the Snail Thong, to more closely resemble an aquatic snail attached to a piece of grass- because snails form a large part of the diet of tailing trout in Tasmania.",
"DressingTechniques": "When tying the Snail Thong the body is a simple nymph constuction. A small cylinder of closed cell foam is then tied in at the eye of the hook so that it is pointing away from the hook bend. The cylinder of foam is bent back over the hook shank and tied in at the lower end and whip finished. The excess foam ends are trimmed off to roughly resemble the shape of a snail. The very important part of the tying process is getting the Snail Thong at the correct buoyancy so that it only just sinks and rests upright on the bottom on the tips of the hackle fibres. I get the buoyancy right by a combination of foam size and the use of lead wire.",
