Bakers Hole Soft Hackle — $2.25 During the early part of the fall run-up season, mid-August to October, big brown and rainbow trout can be tough to fool. We have designed this beautiful fall soft hackle with just the right amount of weight to get it down to the level shy-lake run fish will come for. This fly minimizes the number of late season patterns needed to take these highly sought after monsters. Combining a shaggy body with the right amount of weight and generous soft hackles to move the fly enough to drive fish crazy this fly should grace all late season anglers fly arsenals. Size 8 -
Big Sky Tenkara (BST) — $2.25 This pattern was developed by Steve Johnson of Big Sky for fishing the Gallatin River near there. We’ve taken it to other rivers and streams like the Gardner, Firehole, Warm, Madison and Bechler Rivers as well as Slough, Soda Butte, Tower and Straight Creeks with wonderful success not only fishing the Tenkara but also traditional methods. While it’s simple and unorthodox in appearance it’s effectiveness cannot be disputed. -
Cam’s Skittering PMD — $2.25 Cam brought this fly design idea to our attention having many times come upon big trout selectively taking fresh duns skittering in the surface film either caught in their nymphal shuck, blown about by high winds as the skittered on the film attempting to gain flight, or both. -
Driscoll’s Midge — $2.25 This is “The” fly for Hebgen Lake from ice out in May until it covers the lake again in November. It works whether the fish are rising or cruising looking for midges…. which they always seem to do. It is big, it is bad, it is a tough fly to tie, it is indestructible, and it always works. Size 14 -
Missing Link Olive — $2.25 If any of you have used the Missing link Caddis you know how deadly this fly is. We have been using the Missing Link Caddis as a midge imitation this winter and it has worked very well. Last Fall Bucky used the Missing link Olive as a Baetis imitation and has great success. This fly is nothing short of incredible and we have seen fish go out of their way to eat it. -
Nick’s Soft Hackle PMD emerger — $2.25 Last spring Nick Nicklas, who has been tying flies and guiding for BRF over 30 years gave us his new PMD Soft Hackle Emerger to try. Nick explained that he’d kept this one under wraps last year. Nick never likes to release a fly to us without using it for a year or two. We had to admit at first we thought Nick’s fly was a bit bright and tied with too much sparkle to imitate an emerging pale morning dun mayfly. We were wrong. This fly works not only on the ultra-selective Firehole trout, it also works its magic on big trout on the Henry’s Fork, Missouri, Bighorn and area spring creeks. -
Partridge & Ice — $2.25 In case you haven’t noticed all of us at Blue Ribbon Flies love tying and fishing soft hackles. Not only are they easy to tie and relaxing to fish they some of the prettiest flies on the planet. Bucky set out to create a fall soft hackle that would rival his world famous Lucky Bucky. He came up with this simple twist on an old standard. We began fishing the new Partridge and Ice during the first part of the fall pre-spawning season in early September and by the end of the Yellowstone Park fishing season we were convinced that this beautiful new pattern works like magic for browns and rainbows whether fishing the late season on the Madison, Snake, Lewis, Henry’s Fork, Yellowstone, Bighorn or Missouri and, it is easy to tie! Our field tester and hardcore Cody angler, Spence Benoit, found this to be a great soft hackle for where ever he fished fall run brown trout and we’re confident you will too. -
Patrick’s Stone — $2.99 These sprinting have emerged in good number the past few years and each summer it seems the activity gets stronger. Most adults are seen after dark. The golden brown insects shun daylight hiding under rocks and logs along the shoreline. Trout do not ignore the adults though, even in broad daylight, going out of their way to take the size #8 insects as they run and skitter along the surface. - Page 1 of 2 pages
