Welcome to the bench.
I’m Johnny Utah, and these are the flies I tie, fish, and trust.
From photo-by-photo tutorials to full tying videos, this blog’s built for tiers who want to learn the right way—no fluff, no shortcuts, just fishy patterns that work.
Well last evening was my T.U. chapters second tiers round table meeting. It was a good turn out for the event. At the meeting I demoed and gave instructions how to tie a great emerging sulphur soft hackle that I have been tying and using for some time. The fly can be fish dead drift in the film, bounced on the bottom, fish as a dropper off a dry fly and on the swing. A leisenring lift is particularly deadly with this fly.
Special thanks to the M.W.A. for allowing us to use there amazing building check them out Musconetcong water association
