This is a favorite of ours to tie and fish.  We enjoy it so much because it is such a visually stunning pattern, quick to tie, and deadly effective.  We love the darker colors in the wintertime combined with a metallic bead to garnish attention, but it will work in a myriad of color combinations to your hearts content.  We fish it as a searching attractor nymph, or in color combos to match Mayfly Nymphs in a variety of sizes from 12 through 16 on your favorite jig hook and slotted tungsten bead.   We love fishing this in a two...

Hoppers in the summertime can be so much fun to fish.  The aggressive eats on the top are enough to make a grown man smile, and this one here giggle like a kid again.  As I began my tying experience though, I was scared and intimidated to tie them.

The SLS Emerger is an effective Mayfly Emerger, from Blue Ribbon Flies in West Yellowstone. We have taken the liberty of tying this to match the BWO with great success.
