My Two Favorite Flies

S.B.D. = Simple but deadly!

Simple usually equals deadly. Like a red zebra midge.

Nice flies! What is the fly on the right?

[Clema74]

I would add a hare dubbing thorax on the PT, for making it more alive in the water.

That is a modified Casual Dress. I like the Casual Dress in its natural state, but I also like to make my own hybrids by mixing it with other flies that I like. The version in the picture has grizzly hen hackle palmered over the body like a wooly worm and a collar of pheasant rump like the Sparrow.

I use fox squirrel back fur also, but the PT in the picture is the most basic version I tie. Both versions seem to work pretty darn well.

Thanks! Looks really buggy.
