The hackle stacker tutorial

 The hackle stacker is great dry fly pattern. It was devised by Bob Quigley. The fly utilizes a paraloop technique by winding the hackle around a post and then pulling them over the top of thorax. The pattern can be a bit of a bitch to tie at first but once you do a couple you will have it down.  You can also utilize a gallows tool for this task but I find it as easy to just use my finders.  So lets tie one up, the tutorial is of an adams, but this pattern can be tied to match any mayflies.

Tups Indispensable flymph video

 Tups indispensable has a very secretive history behind it. G.E.M. Skues wrote about and many have talked about it.  From what I gathered from reading everything I could find on it was the fly was yellow bodied, and the thorax while wet, was pink.  They also used a honey dun hackle.
  I put this fly together, basing it off what i found out. It's not the true tups by any means but there are similarities, and from my fishing with the T.I.F.(tups indispensable flymph) it just may be as effective.  All I know is the trout certainly approve of it and that is all that matters to me.

Sparkle Midge pupa, tutorial

 This is a very simple yet extremely effective pattern. It is a great fly for midge pupa and the trout agree. I never go to any limestone stream without this pattern in my midge box.  I first heard of this pattern through the writings of Gary Borger quite some time ago. The fly goes hand in hand with the g-gnat. Give me a box with g-gnats and sparkle midge pupas and ill catch trout on any spring creek or tail water. 
  Tie these guys up in small sizes ie 20-26, and use different colored threads for different effects as the body is translucent.  Be sure to tie them in red, yellow, black, olive, and brown.
   Fish them with a greased leader(floatant on the leader) or dry dropper, whenever you see trout making those midge rings, and be sure to be ready, cause you will be surprised sometimes at the size of trout you can catch while midging.

Hook- Daiichi 1150 #14
Thread- Uni 8/0 camel brown
Tail- Ostrich herl brown
Abdomen- ostrich herl brown
Thorax- Brown rabbit and antron blend
Wing case- Flat diamond braid, black
Hackle- Dark partridge

You can tie this fly in all sizes and colors. Also tie them with several different colors of strands of herl  for some great  effects.     Fish this fly in slower waters, with a leisenring lift or with an active retrieve.   Key factor is giving the fly action, working the fly so to say.
