Catskill Flies
The Catskills are the birthplace of fly fishing. Anglers from around the world travel here to be part of the history.
A fly I tied a couple days ago while working on my hackle tip wings and never got around to posting it.
#18 Rusty Comparadun. %60 of the time, works every time.

Catskill style
Such a cool place.
Does anyone harvest their own flank feathers or know someone who does? Being able to use feathers myself or my friends have harvested really adds another layer for me.
No Hackle 🦆

100 years old this year, first tied by Leonard Halladay from Michigan. The Adams... Named from Halladay's friend, Charles Adams, who asked Halladay to tie the fly. A classic? Certainly.
Anxious for spring is an understatement. Here’s a Cross Special on a size 12 Mustad 94840. #rubecross #dryfly #catskillflies #flytying #flytyingjunkie #flytyingaddict #flyfishing #trout #flytyer
Quill Gordon tied on a size 12 vintage mustad 94840. Instead of using a blue dun hackle I used whitingfarms medium brown dun and really like the buggy effect it puts on this fly.
I love the catskills this time of the year! Plus a tight line or two. #catchandrelease #catskillrivers #catskillflies #catskillflyfishing #catskillflyfishingmuseum #roscoetrouttownusa #sullivancatskills #beaverkillriver #echoglass #troutbum #trouttownusa #riotippetandleaders #roscoeny #repyourwater
Something about this view is so satisfying to me.

A Royal Coachman on a size 12 Tiemco. A pattern to celebrate the holiday season.
Tonight was my first attempt ever at tying this pattern and it was a bit of a challenge. I started to get something resembling the real thing on the third try. I took a few liberties with profile and material selection. Up until now I had no idea that my stash is lacking a set of white duck quills!

Our modern hooks just make it so difficult to tie the flies that look the same as the old flies. The hooks are both different on Mr. Cross’s flies and they don’t look alike. There is no formula, there is no perfect way. There is only the essence of the bug, the life of the bug and how you see it and how you present it to the fish. ross | Palmer Hackle Pastiche
I find it hard to believe that these fly fisher and fly tiers of the past that would not share their tricks and ways to each other and when they did it was a blood bond of being in the club. That they would just blab it out to a book for all to see. I think they gave us what we wanted and just as little as we needed to keep the sport going. So they could get some peace and quiet. The fly the was see in the Stream Side Guild is not the same as the fly we see in the the Land of Little Rivers. Now of your club has a pattern and a “way” to tie the files good on you. But that does not make it more correct, just the way that your club likes to play the game. These are you we use to trick a fish and the fish is the only judge that matters in the end. Unless you tie your fly to trick the human and we’ll that the game that you play.
Me, I tie for the fish, and when rise to the fly is ended with a hard smack of the tail, well I just go home and try again, back to the vise with my broken pride and dreams of tricking tricking the trout burned deep in my thoughts . So I tie for the fish, with only the bug in mind.
So cheers to all that sit before the vise. There is no perfect way l, there is only one judge on one day at one moment in time between you and your foe that travel in lands of little rivers.

This is the other fly, the blue fly to the Cow Dung.
This is the second night that I have put the wrong wing on a fly. The ADHD is strong…hahaha. It should be the grey wing. I must say I do like the black wing. I just liked the look of them so here we are.
