INTRODUCCION AL TOMO 7 Este tomo está dedicado a los obsesivos que quieran ampliar los patrones. No son patrones con menor im-portancia que los del Tomo 2, sino que en aquel seleccioné las moscas más representativas por uso u ata-do. Encontrarán aquí moscas que pueden pensar como “imprescindibles” para un lugar u ocasión especial. Si bien el objetivo del libro son los hispanoparlantes, llegado hasta aquí, verán algunos patrones en inglés, supongo que si empiezan con moscas de este tomo, tienen las cosas más o menos claras!! y ya un poco empapado en el léxico “técnico” de este arte, sino vaya al tomo 6. Si ha llegado hasta aquí, ya podemos con las recetas de las moscas, armar las nuestras.

“Como comenzar a pescar con mosca y no desesperarse en el intento” Gerardo Herreros 51
Rabbit Limay (Benito Pérez) Utilizada preferentemente para pescar el famoso río Limay. La combinación del ver-de oliva con el naranja es irresistible para las grandes truchas fario o marrones que habitan ese río. Es un streamer que imita de gran forma alevines de bagres y percas, y se ata en anzuelos N° 8, 6, 4 y 2. Se re-comienda la utilización de equipos # 5 a 7. Hay otra versión en Flyfishing Argentina Anzuelo: Salmonero # 3.0 de Mustad Hilo: 3/0 al tono tag: lana o seda roja cuerpo: chenille o lana naranja ribbing: alambre de cobre fino ala: conejo oliva cabeza: dubbing gris
Vale recordar como nació este streamer: sim-plemente porque mis atadores, decian que la Matuka les llevaba demasiado tiempo... Totalmente de atado simple, se trata de pre-sentar sobre un anzuelo pata larga - 9672 o similar - dos pares de plumas de gallo o galli-na, atadas sobre el último cuarto del cuerpo del anzuelo - que quedará al descubierto - al que se le adosarán cuatro, tres o dos pares de pluma de pavo real en sus laterales. El resto del cuerpo se cubre de tinsel dorado y a con-tinuación se anilla una pluma de gallo de igual color, en función del hackle, apenas una vuel-ta y media, se hace la cabeza y listo!. Since-ramente con plumas Grizzly - bataraces - es mortífera. Hay pescadores que han logrado piques simplemente dejándolas derivar, pero personalmente las hago trabajar mucho. Téc-nica prioritaria: lanzar un poco arriba de la co-rrentada; a continuación concretar un mend
Tromba Creador: Ginés Gomaris RECETA Anzuelo: Mustad 9672 o similar Hilo: 3/0 al tono cola: dos pares de plumas bataraz y cuatro pares de fibras de pavo real cuerpo: tinsel dorado collar: una pluma igual a la de la cola una vuelta y media. La imagen a lograr es la de una pequeña trucha tratando de cruzar el río o tratando de llegar a aguas más tranquilas para su vida si de trabajarla en lagos se trata. La idea original fue para ser utilizada en días de mucho viento, especialmente en mo-mentos de pre-temporal y en modelos no
“Como comenzar a pescar con mosca y no desesperarse en el intento” Gerardo Herreros 52
contrario a la corriente (y a la teoría...). De esta forma, quedamos el pescador y la tromba frente a frente, mientras la línea se va desplazando aguas abajo, apenas, muy poco. Lo suficiente para formar un arco contrario a la corriente!. En ese momento, hay que iniciar el recogido que deberá ser lento, aunque a veces cambiante. Eso es, que no sea siempre igual. Si el mend se hace en forma normal, el pece-cillo (la tromba), tendría que remontar la co-rriente. En cambio con el tipo de mend, (en-mienda) al revés - anormal - el pececillo atra-viesa la corriente, pero demostrando que la corriente lo fuerza. Esto es así porque al principio el streamer cor-ta la corriente, - estamos hablando de corrien-te normal y no muy rápida - en forma recta, pero luego se ve un poco impelido por la mis-ma y termina ingresando a la costa, a las aguas bajas, un poco más abajo de donde ini-ció su periplo. Si se hiciera el mend en la for-ma teóricamente correcta, la tromba vendría a terminar su recorrido, mucho más aguas aba-jo.
menores al número 2, donde pareciera que para las grandes truchas es un verdadero imán, puesto que suben con una fiereza realmente sorprendente. Esta fiereza su-mada al tema pretemporal gestaron el nombre de "Tromba". Sin embargo, al pa-sar los años, las experiencias y sugeren-cias de otros pescadores (Trotz, Manfred y Amadori) y otros grandes amigos, concre-taron la conveniencia de atarlas también en anzuelos más chicos, a punto tal de que hace dos años, se fabrican desde el nro. 10 (impecables para pescar truchas gran-des en aguas angostas y de poca corren-tada y profundidad). Si en su origen, las até primero con plumas grizzly claras (po-ca luz) o con grizzly oscuro (algo de luz en pre-temporal), luego seguí con el negro y el blue dun o similar. Ahora es posible atar-las también con otros colores, pero mis preferidos son los enunciados. Foto y textos extraidos del libro "Mos-queando Truchas" de Ginés Gomaris.
La segunda versión a cargo de Juan Pablo Gozio: La receta que uso yo para la jabalí es una que había descrito el Bebe Anchorena en un artículo en la revista Roll Cast (el antepasado del boletín mosquero de la AAPM) hace mu-chos años, allá por los 80. Es muy simple y les diría que es una hare´s ear con dubbing de jabalí. En realidad hay muchas ninfas que podemos atar con jabalí: stones, caddis, etc.

Tenemos dos versiones de la receta con
“Como comenzar a pescar con mosca y no desesperarse en el intento” Gerardo Herreros 53
Acá va la receta del Bebe: Anzuelo: Mustad 3906B o similar # 6 -14 Hilo: beige clarito Cola: fibras de Wooduck o similar Ribbing: alambre de cobre Abdomen: dubbing de jabalí puesto en la for-ma tradicional sobre el hilo y luego hecho un loop y retorcido Wingcase: segmento de pluma de pavo Torax: dubbing de jabalí atado en loop en la forma tradicional, es decir hacer el loop e ir metiendo las fibras de dubbing en perpendicu-lar al loop y luego retorcer Patas: (opcional) igual que la cola atadas a los costados o beard style. El tema principal con esta mosca es el color del dubbing. El jabalí, en crudo, viene con mucha grasa y es difícil quitarle el dubbing (sobre todo si está vivo...). Por eso el mayor trabajo es obtener el dubbing (underfur - bajo pelo). Una vez obtenida una cantidad adecua-da, el proceso de teñido es crítico. Primero se debe sacar toda la grasa con shampoo (el de-tergente es agresivo para el pelo) en varios lavados. Con el pelo limpio se puede teñir con anilinas (preferentemente en frío para no quemar el pelo) o con tinturas para pelo (aten-ti las damas). Los mejores colores son: natu-ral, marrón, negro y verde oliva. Espero les sirva, es una mosca "all-around" como dirían los americanos, pudiendo variar tamaños y construcción para imitar distintas formas de vida.
comentarios y anotaciones (sin contar que en el negocio de Jorge Cardillo en San Martín de los Andes hemos visto esta mosca en una tercer versión). La primera corresponde a Ginés Gomariz y es la que sigue: Alguna vez tuve que aclarar que yo no había sido el primero en escribir sobre la pesca de tarariras con artificiales. Quedó claro entonces que el mérito era y le co-rrespondía al gran amigo que fue ROBERTO ZAPICO ANTUÑA. En éste de la gran JABALI, también es nece-sario una aclaración que me reconforta, porque al mismo tiempo que recordar al gran Zapico, esta es la oportunidad de homenajear a un grande total: el Bebe An-chorena, diez como persona y diez como pescador. Porque fue él quien utilizó por vez primera el material. y fue el Bebe quien, una vez más, confió en mí y a la semana de su descubrimiento, me lo transmitió en forma directa, esto es, dándome un ejemplar por él atado. Esta ninfa no difiere en nada al atado con-vencional. Consta de una pequeña cola que se aposenta sobre casi la curva del anzuelo, que puede ser de pa-vo común marrón o faisán; luego y aquí viene lo interesante y mortífero, el dubbing se confecciona con el vellón o pelo base o sotto pelo, del jabalí. Este dubbing es ani-llado por tinsel fino, dorado, que al igual que en la gran mayoría de las ninfas, -Hare's Ear, a la que suplanta con creces por ejemplo- debe «introducirse» en el dubbing. Esto significa que el dubbing no debe en todos los casos atarse en forma muy ceñida. A partir del último cuarto del cuerpo o pata del anzuelo, se fija fibras de pavo común o de faisán de color marrón y una pluma de partridge marrón que puede suplantarse por perdiz chica nuestra. Se sigue con el dubbing de jabalí dándole mayor vo-lumen, luego se ata dando vuelta desde la parte más fina de la pluma -que se coloca-rá invertida-, se fija con no más de dos vueltas, se corta el sobrante y se cubre con las fibras de pavo común o faisán. Se concreta el atado con pocas vueltas siem-pre de hilo marrón y a continuación se pa-sa cemento sobre la montura y el final del atado o mínima cabeza... A mi criterio, una mosca bien atada y salvo casos especiales, debe man-
“Como comenzar a pescar con mosca y no desesperarse en el intento” Gerardo Herreros 54
tenerse bien, por lo menos, hasta la canti-dad de diez a más piques. Generalmente una mosca así atada, de to-das formas al final de ese periplo, queda defectuosa. No ocurre así con las ninfas y en especial con las Hare's Ear y menos aún con la Jabalí. Cuanto más se «des-hilacha», mejor capta. Le hemos dado mu-chas vueltas verbales con el Bebe al éxito de esta ninfa y lo único que encontramos es que debe ser por su tipo de presencia translúcida ya la movilidad que presenta, justamente, cuando se des-hilacha. Es naturalmente una ninfa emer-gente, por cuanto ni al Bebe ni a mí, se nos ocurriría colocar lastre, por lo tanto, parte de lo relatado para accionar la Hare's, vale para este caso también. Las ato en anzuelos 94840 o similares pa-ra la venta, y en 94845 y fundamentalmente en la serie 200R de Tiemco también. Otras series muy buenas son las 700B, 135 Scud de Dai-Riki. Uso anzuelos desde el14 al... 8 y hasta a veces un 4... En la gran mayoría atados en anzuelos de Tiemco, serie ya enunciada. Pero usando ó las tres cuarta partes ó di-rectamente e150% de la pata del anzuelo. Ocurre que con esta anzuelo la clavada no es fácil. Una vez lograda, es harto difícil que el pez-cado se libere, pero es común perder muchos piques. Y esto no es sóla-mente atribuible al anzuelo, sino a la forma de tomar por parte de nuestra amiga la trucha. En general ca-si no muerde, sino que pareciera que ab-sorbiera, que aspirara cual un pejerrey, tomando moscas. Es realmente una ninfa increlble y, arriesgo, cuasi insuperable. Pe-ro vale ayudarla. Por caso ejemplar, con ellídery su final. Es sin ninguna duda, muy importante maniobrar con líderes largos, que le permitirán un ac-cionar bien liberado, que a su vez en aguas levemente rápidas, nos permitirá accionar constantemente con la caña. Por favor ubíquese en función de pesca; lanzamos un poco, no mucho, por debajo de nuestra ubicación. Cuando la ninfa llega a tomar contacto con el agua, levante la caña y deje deslizar el par de metros que tiene en la mano opuesta a la que sostiene la caña... A continuación, con línea «blan-da» en el agua, empiece
“Como comenzar a pescar con mosca y no desesperarse en el intento” Gerardo Herreros 55
en forma constante, suave, de acuerdo con las innumerables corrientes superficiales de las aguas donde estamos pescando, a concretar pequeños mends, enmiendas que en realidad, deben llevar dos sentidos: el de mantener un control por supuesto, ante una posible picada, pero, fundamen-talmente, para darle a la ninfa un sentido de vida. Esa ninfa, en su reacción natural, está buscando llegar a la superficie sacudiendo su cuerpo a los efectos de desprender el caparazón que sujeta sus surgentes alas... Y este es el momento que espera la trucha para tomarla. Lo he visto infinidad de ve-ces actuando como guía. Cuando la ninfa llega a ubicarse en forma directa -río abajo- de la ubicación del pes-cador, una trucha que viene acompañando el derivaje, se queda sin atacar, casi colo-cando su trompa tocando al cebo. Es cuando en la mayoría de los casos come-temos error: no debe recogerse precipita-mente sino todo lo contrario. Debe traccionarse la ninfa en forma por demás suave y lenta; AQU I es cuando la trucha en la mayoría de los casos, se abalanza sobre la Jabalí... Desde tres metros hasta 3,60 he utilizado y recomiendo en el largo del líder. Final máximo para tamaños grandes, el 0,20. Pero mejor resulta utilizar un final del 0, 15 en pequeños y medianos ríos y del 0, 18 en los semejantes al Chi-mehuín. Con Jabalíes atadas en anzuelos del doce, he logrado capturas de más de tres kilos. Con monstruos atadas en anzuelos del ocho al cuatro, muchas son las capturas de grandes ejemplares... La receta que uso yo para la jabalí es una que había descrito el Bebe Anchorena en un artículo en la revista Roll Cast (el ante-pasado del boletín mosquero de la AAPM) hace muchos años, allá por los 80.

The plume of CdC makes the fly hanging just un-der the surface. The difficulty is to get the right amount of CdC. You have to test. The fly is tied in the hook bend only. I got the idea from the Leon Links book “Tying Flies with CDC” where you can read about the shuttlecocks of Clive Perkins and see variants from Paul Canning, Chris Howitt and Elie Beerten.

Little Grayling Streamer Fly: Marcus Ruoff, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann Hook: Any barbless strong dry fly or nymph hook size 8-12 Weight: Brass conehead Thread: Dyneema or white thread Body: doll hair Eyes: prismatic eyes either flat or epoxy Background: This is an easy to tie small streamer which has proven very successful at the start of the season or anytime small fry is around. Good thing about it is that due to the conehead it is a good sinker but still has enough lifelike action through the doll hair. Also it is quite transparent in the water which might be one reason for its success. The eyes are not compulsory but look nice if you want to take the trouble to attach them. The one in the picture has already caught some fish, so it doesn’t look brandnew. Tying notes: Thread conehead onto hook, wind on thread, bind in doll hair strip and wind doll hair right into the conehead so that it sits relatively tight. Finish with half hitches and attach eyes with superglue or any other glue that keeps the eyes on for a minute or two.
Ugly Mayfly Fly: Marcus Ruoff, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann Hook: any long shank dry fly hook in size 8-12 Thread: To match body color Body and extended body: white foam cut square to the thickness desired Wing: two similar CDC-feathers Hackle (optional): you might leave it out or take the trouble to add a bit of fanciness to the pattern by adding a parachute hackle like in the picture. This fly would catch equally well without the hackle! Background: This must rate as about the ugliest mayfly pattern ever! This is not a picture postcard, naturalistic, breathing, lifelike creation as most of the big may-flies you normally see. But boy this one is one hell of a fish catcher. As you might know we have quite a few chalk streams here in Southern Ger-many with big, famous hatches of big mayflies. It is here that this fly proved its effectiveness time and time again. My friends and I have really given a lot of patterns at different waters a try because the fish can be quite selective. We have tried everything from e.g. Oliver Edwards, Gerhard Laible and other impres-sionistic and classic patterns etc. but this one really stood out anywhere we were fortunate
“Como comenzar a pescar con mosca y no desesperarse en el intento” Gerardo Herreros 136
enough to experience this wonderful hatch. White was the most effective colour so far, al-though we have tried to copy the more yellow-like colour of the naturals. You might want to try this out or adjust the colour to your needs.The helicop-ter effect of most of these big flies is not too bad with this one either if you try to match the CDC-wings.

Gurgle-Pop Popper Fly: Peter Frailey, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann Hook: Size 8 dry fly hook Thread: White Danville 3/0 or Flat-waxed Tail: Chartreuse Widows Web (or other crinkly synthetic yarn, zelon, etc) Underbody: 5/16th-inch wide strip of 2mm yellow foam, tied down in three places to create seg-ments Overbody: Same strip of foam as above folded forward and tied down at the front segment Legs: Round orange rubber leg material Note: This is my variation of Jack Gartside’s re-nowned Gurgler. I tie it with a more pronounced lower “lip” to create a cupped popper face. It also resembles a large foam beetle with a tail! What-ever it is, it is my favorite and most frequently used surface fly for warm-water species. Size 8 works well for the panfish and small bass I find in local farm ponds. Size 4 works nicely when target-ing larger bass.
“Como comenzar a pescar con mosca y no desesperarse en el intento” Gerardo Herreros 137
Tip: For a nice bass bug on a size 4 hook, cut your foam slightly wider. You might try slightly thicker foam (I use an evazote foam from Rainy’s) or two layers of foam of the same or different col-ors.
Hare & Herl Bugger Fly: Peter Frailey, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann Hook: size 14 3xl or 12 2xl Thread: Black Danville 3/0 Weight: 10 wraps of thin lead wire and/or bead-head Tail: Rabbit fur Body: 3-5 peacock herls and 2 strands of black Krystal flash, all twisted together and wrapped the length of the body Hackle: Dun hen neck hackle Note: This small bugger has worked everywhere I’ve tried it, from tailwater fisheries with suspicious trout to tannic colored warm water with small-mouth bass. When wet it looks very much like the damselfly nymphs that hatch all season in most of my local waters. Tip: A marabou tail will work, but I prefer rabbit fur for a durable tail material on small buggers. Cut short pieces from zonker strips to experiment with different color tails.

I have won competitions on this fly when everyone else struggled. It is small enough not to frighten fish, but bright enough to attract them. It got its name when my boat partner beat me 7-1 in a competition using this fly. He gave me one at the end of the day. It was originally an or-ange lure, but I tried the coral colored one and it was even better than the original. The scruffier it gets, the more the fish like it. It is also a good lure for perch.

It can be fished dry with a floating line or sub-surface using a sink tip. I also tie it in orange and in white. The orange version uses gold flashabou and brown grizzly hackles. The white version uses pearl Flashabou and grizzly hackles.

“Como comenzar a pescar con mosca y no desesperarse en el intento” Gerardo Herreros 144
some natural white hairs from the flank of a White Tail Deer Notes: This fly is simply a modification from Al Troth’s “Elk Hair Caddis.” It was developed out of a need to present a darker, more mottled appear-ing wing than elk hair provided. But a problem arose in that the fly's darker wing was difficult to see in bright light, so a friend, Stu Garrison, and I came up with the idea of placing lighter colored hair over the darker natural deer. We tried various colors, but found that white was the most visible to different fishermen in various circumstances. Of course the body and hackle color can be changed to more closely match the natural. The real bonus this fly supplies over an Elk Hair Caddis is the wing being a bit more mottled as well as being visible in both dark shadowed as well as brightly lit situations.
Cylinder Popper (blue tiger) Fly: Jerry Caruso, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann Hook: Straight eyed hook(light wire preferred), 3 to 4XL, size 10-1 Thread: To match foam color Tail: Marabou (or whatever) Body/hackle: White foam cylinder(1/4 to 1/2 inch) Floatation: Dry or Saddle Sparkle: Fabric Paint(Icicle Sparkle) Eyes: 3-D Epoxy Color: Permanent Markers Note: Just a flat faced cylinder popper. I like to use a white cylinder to give me more color op-tions. One in the vise wrap the hook shank with thread. I use a hot needle to burn a hole through the cylinder. Then I coat the hook shank with su-per glue and quickly slide the cylinder on the shank. I will color the cylinder (I like white, char-treuse, Fire Tiger, Blue Tiger, and Orange Tiger). Coat with the fabric paint. Let dry. Add a second coat of color and eyes. Add second coat of fabric paint or epoxy. When dry tie in tail and hackle. Color to match the body. Hackle can be trimmed flat on bottom if you want. I tie these in various sizes and lengths. I will also slide E-Z body or Corsair tubing over them for a more tapered pop-per. Eyes go over the hook point not in the front.

Elver Fly: Jerry Caruso, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann Hook: Owner 5105 or Gamakatsu C145 Size 2-8 Thread: Black Body: PolaFibre stacked, tied in behind the eye. Black over Olive over White Flash: Sparkleflash/TD> Eyes: 3-D Epoxy Head: Area from eye to just past hook bend is coated with Flex-Loc(you can also use epoxy) Note: Tied to imitate small American eels that swim up the Delaware River during the spring. There about 3-4 inches long. Just about any gamefish in the river will eat these eels. For salt water this makes a passable Sand eel(which is a fish not an eel). Tied using longer materials to about 8-12 inches long with a little more bulk. It can be used to imitate the eels used by those livelining for stripers in the fall. Although I used black thread in this pattern. Clear mono would be a better choice.
Estaz Bug Fly: Jerry Caruso, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann Hook: Tiemco 101, size 4 to 12 Thread: White(match the color of the Estaz) Weight: Lead wire(wrapped in middle of hook shank) Tail: White Marabou or Arctic Fox over flash mate-rial of choice Body: White Estaz(see comments) Note: This is a good pattern. It imitates nothing natural, but does a fair imitation of a Mr. Twister Grub. I have caught everything from Snapper Blues to Trout on it. My biggest fly rod small-mouth, 18 inches, fell for a size 4 white one. A very simple tie. Wrap your lead wire around the shank. Tie in sparse amount of flash mate-rial(about 10 strands) then tie in your marabou or arctic fox. Tie in the estaz, wrap forward and tie off, build a thread head. Now take your scissors and trim, give it a crew cut. It should have a grub shape when done. How to fish. I have caught fish dead drifting it, I have had them pick up as it was lying on the bot-tom, or when stripped in.

Fun Foam Popper Fly: Jerry Caruso, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann Hook: Any dry fly hook, standard size to 3XL Thread: To match foam color Tail: Marabou Body/hackle: Dry Fly or Saddle hackle Floatation: Circle punched from craft foam Note: An easy and effective pattern. It was shown to me by a local tyer, whose name escapes me, about 5 years ago. I use craft store foam either 1/16 or 1/8 inch, I prefer 1/8 inch when I can get it. Punch various size circles out of it. I use ex-pended brass, from .38 Special to 12 Ga. shotgun to punch my circles out. Put your hook in the vise. Wrap some thread behind the eye. I like to add a drop of super glue to the thread covered area. Pinch the foam circle at the bottom and slide it onto the hook shank just behind the eye. Then wrap it into place. If done right it should form a cupped popper head. Bring the thread to the back of the hook tie in your marabou tail. You can add some flash if you want. Then tie in your hackle by the tip and wrap forward to right behind the head. Tie off and trim excess. Then take your scissors and trim the hackle flat on the bottom. The eyes on this fly are pin heads, but a dot of fabric paint or no eyes at all will do just as well. I tie from size 12 to size 2. It pushes a lot a water when stripped. At rest, the tail end sinks and the fly will sit vertical until stripped. I tie it mainly in white, chartreuse and yellow, but it can be tied in whatever color combination that suits yours or the fish's fancy.
Little Black Caddis Fly: Jerry Caruso, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann Hook: Tiemco 2488, size 20 Thread: Black, 12/0 Body: Black CDC Feather tied in by the tip and wrapped Wing: Black CDC Note: Ridley Creek, here in SE PA has an excel-lent hatch of these caddis in the spring. I tied up a pattern based on information in a book which said to use a size 14 dry fly hook. Anyway, the pattern was way to big, and did not get a look from the trout. Caught a few caddis and took them home with me. This pattern was the result. It is based on the CDC and Elk. There was not any deer or elk hair small enough so I opted to use Black CDC for the wing. Since these caddis "walk" on the water, heading toward the shore, most action occurs at the end of the drift as the fly starts to swing.

The CDC feather is tied in by the tip and wrapped like a CDC&Elk. I trim the flaring barbules. Start with the Red Brown CDC make a couple of wraps (can't be sure if this is an egg sac) trim, then tie in Dark Brown CDC and wrap forward.

Best size seems to be a 22. Body is CDC feathers tied in by the tip, and wrapped like a CDC&Elk. When I get down to the smaller sizes, I use just the barbules for the body. Wing is a clump of white CDC. Initially tied as a dry, discovered by accident that it's equally effec-tive when wet and fished as a dropper.

“Como comenzar a pescar con mosca y no desesperarse en el intento” Gerardo Herreros 159
fly, but somewhat limited because of it's mono-tone grey/brown color. I tye this in a neater, trim-mer style than the original and choose colors for the body and wing that match any number of may-fly hatches. The character remains faithful to the original. Over the past 8 years or so, "Usuals" have become my dryfly of first choice for mayfly hatches.

Its' low profile and flush floating character combine to make it a very good fly where trout can take a good look at imitations. It also floats well on rough water. This has proven to be a good fly in other colors wher-ever stone flies are present. I also tie it with yellow abdomen and thorax, and with rusty brown abdo-men and yellow thorax.

Before copper tinsel was readily available, copper pot scrubbers (Chore Boys/Girls) were unravelled and the resulting copper tinsel used.

.08 Fly: Ken Driedger, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann Hook: Salmon 2/0-6 Thread: Unithread 6/0, Purple Tail: Purple marabou short, about 1/2 inch long Body: Black and pink acrylic yarns, woven Hackle: Long, soft, ordinary Barred Rock, as long in the feather and the fiber as you can find, palmered over body, with the first wrap veiling the tail Wing: Purple Marabou short, tied vertical, about 3/4 body length The body is plumped up with a commercial nymph form, or tag ends of the yarns, doubled back and forth as the underbody. Fished damp, or full wet. Created under the unfluence... hence the name; .08 being the maximum blood alcohol content for driving in Canada, and many U.S.A. states. The fly undgergoes a startling transformation when wet, and ought not to be dismissed as a bad dream. The strikes are hard, with very few short takes. If the maker uses 'genetic'grizzly, then one side of the feather should be stripped, to keep the barb count low. Larger .08's are known as "5-day benders", regular sized ones arealso known as "drunks", fancy ones are known as "Sp8's", and collectively,they aka as "Barflies" Note: Excellent instructions for the parallel weave can be found in the latest reference book by Leeson and Schollmeyer.

Dean’s Worm Fly: Andy Simon, photograph: Hans Weilenmann Hook: size 16 nymph Thread: 8/0 grey uni-thread Head: Small clear glass bead Tail/Body: tan micro chenille (Use Zap-a-Gap to hold the bead and chenille in place) Note: My friend, Dean Perry, is one of the greatest fishermen I have ever seen. His style is fast and efficient, like the great Art Flick. Whenever I get the chance to fish with him, I am humbled. On any given day, for every fish I catch, he will take 3 or 4. Dean introduced me to this great sport, and has been my inspiration to keep at it. Dean’s flies are always great fish catchers, and they are simple to tie. This aquatic worm fly is possibly the simplest fly I have even seen, and it breaks the tradition of common fly tying. But, toss it over any large trout, and they don’t seem to care how long it took you or that it isn’t a “real fly” - they just care that it looks like food! I know a spring creek in Washington where this pattern catches more fish than everything else combined. Fish Dean’s Worm close the bottom, and be ready as takes can be hard to detect.

Freight Train Fly: Andy Simon, photograph: Hans Weilenmann Hook: Mustad salmon fly hook, size 4-6 Thread: 3/0 black uni-thread Tail: Purple Hackle Fibers Rib: Small silver tinsel Body: Orange floss, Then Pink Pheasant tail, fol-lowed by peacock Wing: White calf tail Note: This fly was not designed by me or by any local fishermen. The great Randal Kauffman de-signed this fly, and popularized it on the famous steelhead rivers of Oregon. But I am including it because it has special value to me. This is the pattern I took my first steelhead on, while fishing the Deschutes River with my dad. Fish this fly using a down and across method, let it swing until it is fully below you, then pick up and cast again. This method is very methodical, and sometimes you will forget that you are even fish-ing at all. Cast, swing, step, and repeat. A peace-ful rhythmic motion you soon become absorbed with. You realize what this sort of fishing is about - a solitary game, worlds apart from common trout fishing. There are no loud fisherman and their rude guides who care nothing about the river or its needs. It’s just you, and the fish
Girdle Bug Fly: Andy Simon, photograph: Hans Weilenmann Hook: Size 2-12 3x long nymph hook Thread: 3/0 black uni-thread Weight: Tungsten bead, lead wire rapped around the shank Body: Variegated chenille Legs: Silicon, pumpkin fleck Note: The Girdle Bug is perhaps the secret pat-tern of a few local experts on the famous Grand Rhonde River in Oregon. Last year, while fishing a short stretch of the Rhonde, one of my close friends took fourteen steelhead in under one hour. I didn’t believe him until a week later when he showed me the photos of that amazing day. If that isn’t a testament to the effectiveness of this fly, I don’t know what is.

Hairy Gammarus Fly: Andy Simon, photograph: Hans Weilenmann Hook: size 16 scuds, flattened out Thread: Grey 8/0 uni-thread Weight: Lead wire wrapped around shank Body: Hare's ear Hairline dubbing Note: The Hairy Gammarus is an easy pattern to tie, which will catch a lot of fish. It’s a great fly for beginners to tie. I like to fish this fly behind a larger pattern, such as a damsel nymph or a bead head Copper John. One of my largest trout, a fish well over 30 inches, fell to this pattern one June evening. Using a scud imitation like this fly will put you on large fish, be-cause scuds are a main food source for large trout.
Ice Fly Fly: Andy Simon, photograph: Hans Weilenmann Hook: Size 12-scud hook Thread: 8/0 grey uni-thread Weight: Small brass bead Tail: Dark pink marabou Rib: small silver tinsel Body: Dark pink ice dubbing Note: This is a great pattern for small, still waters. I fish this pattern similarly to a chironomid. Let it sink for about 20 seconds, and then slowly re-trieve the fly, in 4-6 inch strips. While the Ice Fly doesn’t imitate anything in particular, it does have a lot of flash and movement. The Ice Fly is a great producer year round, and a great fly to try when nothing else seems to strike the fish’s fancy.

Mac Daddy Fly: Andy Simon, photographs: Hans Weilenmann Hook: Size 4-10 3x long nymph hook Thread: 6/0 dark red uni-thread Eyes: Lead eyes Weight: Lead wire wrapped around that hook Claws: Matched pair of pheasant body feather Rear legs: Orange zonked strip, rapped around shank Body: Orange rabbit dubbing Feelers: Pheasant tail fibers Hackle: Brown rooster neck, tied palmer style Rib: Large green ultra wire Shellback: Olive Raffia, with a coat of Softex over it Note: This is a great pattern for large trout and bass anywhere crawfish live. This fly is a little time consuming to tie, but its well worth it. The great action it provides attracts fish that don’t even look at other offerings. Fish the Mac Daddy close to the bottom, with 6-inch strips. Every 5 or so strips, give the fly an aggressive strip twice as long and twice as fast as the normal strip.
Mahogany and Peacock Fly: Andy Simon, photograph: Hans Weilenmann Hook: Size 14-18 dry fly Thread: Mahogany size 70 ultra thread Tail: Brown hackle fibers Rib: Brown quill Body: Mahogany thread Wingpost: Natural cdc Hackle: Peacock Thorax: brown rooster neck hackle Note: This beautiful dry fly is one of my favorites to tie. One day last year I was fishing a small creek near my home, when I saw a few rusty duns coming off the water and soon it turned into a full-scale hatch. The only problem was I didn’t have anything in my box to match the duns, so I fished with an Adams the rest of the day, only catching a few fish. I was back the next day, determined not to let the same thing happen and I was armed with a fly I had tied the night before. Right on
“Como comenzar a pescar con mosca y no desesperarse en el intento” Gerardo Herreros 182
queue, the duns started coming off the water and the fish were rising. I cast out with hands shaking and high expectations, but to my disappointment my fly sank like a rock, and without my floatant that day, I was helpless. Back to the drawing board, I needed a pattern that would work quickly as the hatch would be over in a few days. I was at my bench that night when I remembered a batch of CDC feathers that my friend had given me. Be-fore he gave them to me, he got out a glass of wa-ter and showed me what happened when a CDC feather was submerged. It trapped air, and did not become saturated. Amazing. I decided to use one of the CDC feathers as the wing post for the para-chute. I tied up a bunch of flies that night, and had high hopes for the next day. Just as the two days before, the duns came and the fish rose, but today I wasn’t just a spectator to the action, I was catching fish! That day I stopped counting at about 15. Let’s just say I caught my fair share of trout with this fly.
Mill Creek Hopper Fly: Andy Simon, photographs: Hans Weilenmann Hook: Size 10 dry fly hook Thread: Black 6/0 Body: Yellow 3mm foam, marked with black per-manent marker Underwing: Green dear hair Overwing: Green raffia Legs: Yellow rubber legs, marked with black per-manent marker Head: Yearling elk tied bullet style, eyes drawn with black permanent marker Note: This fly was named for one of my favorite home waters; a beautiful stream near Walla Walla called Mill Creek. While this fly looks complex, it is really fairly simple to tie. They key to this fly is get-ting the extended body right. To build the ex-tended body, slip a piece of foam that is 3 inches long and 1/8 inch wide onto a needle so that the foam is impaled in the middle, with one and one half inches of foam on either side of the needle. Now, put the needle into your vice, and attach the thread. Wind the thread back to the foam and be-gin forming the body. First form one ball will the thread, then advance the tying thread and form two more. Once you have finished, whip finish the thread and pull the body off the needle. Now, take one of the foam sections, and stick the hook through it, pulling the foam all the way up to the bend of the hook. Then, attach your thread to the hook, and wrap it back to the foam. Now, form 2 more balls of foam, and cut the excess foam from the hook. Next, and perhaps most the important step in this fly, is to put a drop of Zap-a-Gap onto
“Como comenzar a pescar con mosca y no desesperarse en el intento” Gerardo Herreros 183
the body, to hold it in place so it does not spin. Af-ter this is finished, dress the fly as you would any other hopper pattern. I use a bullet head and rub-ber legs for the fly, but feel free to use a clipped hair head, or anything else you want to try. Ex-perimentation is a crucial step in developing good flies.
Simon’s Spey Fly: Andy Simon, photograph: Hans Weilenmann Hook: Size 6-8 Mustad salmon fly hook Thread: 3/0 black uni-thread Tail: Black Saddle hackle fibers Rib: small silver tinsel Body, rear two/third: black uni-thread Body, front one/third: black rabbit fur (see tying note) Collar: Purple saddle hackle Tying note: Rabbit fur is spun into a dubbing loop using a special technique. Form a dubbing loop, then open the loop, and place in a zonker strip so that all the rabbit fur is inside the loop and pointing out one side. The skin portion of the zonker strip is left on the other side of the loop. Clip the skin of the strip, so that only the rabbit fur remains in the dubbing loop. Now simply spin the dubbing loop and wind around the hook shank. Note: This fly is perhaps one of my favorites to tie. It is beautifully simple, yet has a nice profile. Simon’s Spay bridges the gap between the old world spey style flies and modern techniques. Us-ing a variation on the dubbing loop technique, a flowing hackle of rabbit fur is formed, giving the fly tons of action while in the water. Try this pattern out on you local anadromous species and you will be pleasantly surprised.
S.L.F Damsel Fly: Andy Simon, photograph: Hans Weilenmann Hook: size 12-scud model Thread: 8/0 grey uni-thread Weight: Lead wire Tail: Olive marabou, very sparse Rib: Small red ultra wire Body: Olive synthetic living fiber Eyes: Green melted mono Note: The S.F.L Damsel is a great pattern for still waters. Any time you see cruising trout, cast a few feet in front of it, and let the fly sink, and once it gets down to the fishes level, give it short fast strips until the fish passes or picks they fly up. This can be an amazing way to fish on July eve-nings when every fish in the lake is near the shore feeding on damsels.

Swimming Scud Fly: Andy Simon, photograph: Hans Weilenmann Hook: size 12-scud model, with a flattened shank Thread: Dark red 6/0 uni-thread Weight: lead wire, wrapped around entire shank Rib: Small red ultra wire Shellback: Plastic bag, cut to shape, with a coat of Softex over it Body: Olive synthetic living fiber Note: Contrary to popular belief, scuds do not have a curved position as they swim. The only time a scud takes up a curved position is when it’s dead, or tumbling down a rushing stream, trying to find a foothold. So, for this scud imitation I use a scud hook, flattened out so it doesn’t have any bend. Why you ask do you still use a scud hook, and not a normal nymph hook? Because the gap of a scud hook is larger, giving a better chance to hook this fish…simple as that. To fish this fly, cast it out in front of cruising fish, and let it sink until it gets down to their level. Now, begin to strip it in using brisk, 3-6 inch pulls. Often times, you will not feel a take with this pattern, so when you feel any change in the resistance on your line, strike. Many fish will take this fly and swim towards you, so the line will become easier to retrieve, if this happens, you must use a strip strike, to pull as much line in so you make contact with the fish.
Tucannon Special Fly: Andy Simon, photograph: Hans Weilenmann Hook: Mustad salmon fly hook, Size 2-8 Thread: Orange flat waxed nylon Eyes: Large bead chain eyes Weight: Lead wire wrapped around shank Tail: Pink marabou Rib: Small silver tinsel Body: Pink marabou wound around shank Note: I developed this pattern to catch summer and winter run steelhead on the Tucannon River. It is simple and easy to tie. This is an important thing for a steelhead fly, because if you want to catch steelhead, you must fish deep. If you must fish, then you will lose many flies.

Willow Fly Fly: Russell Stanton, Photograph: Hans Weilen-mann Hook: TMC 2312 # 6 or Orvis 8808 4 XL streamer hook # 6 Thread: Gudebrod "G" thread, fluorescent orange (surgical wire optional) Body: orange closed cell foam cut in strip and wrapped around shank Hackle: grizzly, palmered Wing: Elk rump hair Note: This bland looking fly deserves an explana-tion. It's Bill Campbell's version for the large stoneflies found on the headwaters of the Rio Grande and locally known as Willow Flies. Origi-nally tied many years ago by Bill to try and get a fly that would hold up after more than just a few toothy browns, he used closed cell foam for the body and surgical wire instead of thread. After Bill, along with his fishing friends, Howard, and the ranch manager, Rod, all had their say on the fly's design and efficacy they put in Rod's boat and began the float toward the ranch. Howard was in the front of the boat that day (which surprises me since he's always insisted I take the front when-ever we've fished) and both the fly and the fishing were holding up to expectations. After Howard had accounted for all of his fish that day on the same fly, he hooked into one last brown as they approached the take out spot at the ranch. Rod leaned forward and said to Howard, "Don't loose that fly." He didn't, and that last fish made 46 on the same fly. Mission accomplished, Bill.

Nuke Egg Fly: Cory Muench, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann Hook: Orvis 1639; Size 14 Thread: Uni 6/0; Rust Brown Egg: Dark Orange McFly Foam Halo: Champagne or Cotton Candy Glo-Bug Yarn Tying notes: Start thread and put down thread base 3/4 way to bend. Work thread back to middle and tie in McFly foam on top of hook and trim to round just like tying an egg pattern. Take thread back to front of egg. Take a short piece of bug yarn and pull off small piece of that lengthwise. Fan out material to make a very thin square piece; try to make thin sheen of material as uniform in thickness as possible to avoid any clumping when tying in. Take material and poke over eye of the hook in the middle and tie in half on opposite side of hook with one turn, then fold back material on near side of hook and tie in. Hold bug yarn back over egg and make a couple more turns to secure material and finish. Trim yarn to back of egg. This pattern isn't done justice until you put it in the water. Tie one up and drop it in a cup of water and seeing is believing. Bug yarn becomes translucent and makes the egg look milky in the water. The best producing egg pattern I've tried.
Simple Foam Beetle Fly: Cory Muench, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann Hook: Orvis 1523; Sizes 16-22 Thread: Uni 8/0; Black Abdomen/Body: Black Foam Legs: Black Elk hair Wing: White Antron or Glo-bug Yarn Tying notes: Take foam and singe edges with lighter to give a softer look. Start thread and tie in foam length of hook in tight wraps giving the body a compressed, uniform shape. Work thread back to just behind hook eye and fold foam over mak-ing the back. Tie in neck with a couple turns and take 3-4 elk hair fibers and tie on back with figure eight. Elk hair will naturally fan out making legs, trim to length. Take wing material, really just used as an indicator post so you can see a black fly, and tie in. Finish fly and trim excess foam in front of hook eye to make head. Easy and effective beetle pattern that floats well. I have found success with small sizes, 18-20, on small streams.

tested, I could hardly believe how realistic it looked on the water. It should make an excellent imitation of a dun and spinner of all mayfly spe-
cies, with a few simple adjustments of thread and hair colors. Enjoy!

Mad Caddis Fly: Marshall Porterfield, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann Hook: Dry fly hook sized to match bead head Thread: Unithread 6/0, Brown Head: Plastic bead head gold bead 3mm for #12 hook Body hackle: Brown Body: Tan beaver dubbing Wing: Elk hair Notes and fishing instructions: A bead head dry fly might seem “mad” but this pattern is actually named for my favorite fly tying partner. Considering the trout attracting power of bead head nymphs, I thought why not bring some flash to surface patterns. The bead emulates the light focused by the surface tension dimples cre-ated by the insect’s feet on the water surface. Plastic beads are light and can be supported by most standard floatation techniques. The beads can be purchased in a craft store, but don’t come counter drilled, so you may need to do this your-self. My experience has been that these bead head dry flies work on the dead drift or skated across the surface.

This style was named by my best fishing buddy, who upon first seeing the pattern correctly predicted that “it will sweep up all of the trout on the stream.” It is tied back-wards in order to prevent the emerger part from interfering with hook set. The first versions had this problem. There are a couple of ways to ac-complish this pattern. The first is to tie the emerger and add it to the hook before tying the nymph. The alternative is to tie in the emerger un-derbody as you tie the nymph, then complete the fly by turning the hook around in the vise to tie the emerger. Basic instructions: Turn the hook around back-wards and tie the head at the start of the hook bend. Tie in the Emerger underbody, or com-pleted emerger. Tie in two pieces of wing case material and dub the thorax. Take the two win case pieces around either side of the under-body/emerger, and tie down. Tie in tail and wire before dubbing backwards to the eye of the hook. Wrap gold wire back and tie off thread. Head ce-ment this junction as well as the nymph head. The emerger part can be created by tying in the CDC and over wrapping the butts as you dub the body, tie in the hack tip and wrap 4-5 times, followed by tieng off the hackle and creating the head.

Branham’s Epoxy Mini Puff Originator and fly: Joe Branham, Photograph: Hans Weilenmann Hook: Saltwater, standard shank, 1 to 8 Thread: 6/0 or 3/0, to match wing color Eyes: Stainless steel bead chain Wing: Calf tail, crystal flash. Natural or dyed griz-zly hackle tips Head: Kreinik’s Fly Tyers Ribbon or colored or dyed epoxy Overcoat: Epoxy Note: In the late 1980’s when I was trying to design my first fly, the Epoxy Charlie, the Mini Puff was an-other fly that I was tying a lot of and had the pos-sibility of becoming a very good epoxy adaptation.
“Como comenzar a pescar con mosca y no desesperarse en el intento” Gerardo Herreros 225
The Epoxy Mini Puff was developed almost side by side with the Epoxy Charlie. I used flash a bou initially for the head and then progressed to crys-tal flash and finally the Kreinik’s Fly tyers Ribbon. I used these materials and coated them with clear epoxy. As I became more involved in epoxy flies, I was shown how to dye epoxy, using Rit dye and 70% isopropyl alcohol and to tint the epoxy using enamel paint. This led to just tying on the bead chain eyes and applying either a tinted or dyed epoxy to give a solid head of epoxy that was ei-ther semi-transparent or opaque. NOTE: See arti-cle on “Working with Epoxies” for exactly how to do this. I never really promoted this fly but it was carried by Kaufmann’s Streamborn while I was tying for them. I never sent a sample to Umpqua so they did not put it under contract. Generally bead chain eyes are used but you can use bar bell eyes but the fly will sink like a rock. Numerous colors can be used. I generally tied this fly with a pink head (either the Fly Tyer’s Ribbon over coated with clear epoxy) or a tinted pink ep-oxy. The pink had either a pink or tan wing. The brown was either a gold head coated with clear epoxy or a tinted brown solid epoxy head. The white had a silver head or a colored white head. The tan had either a pearly head or a dyed tan solid epoxy head. Other colors may be used to include a chartreuse head with either a chartreuse or white wing, or-ange head with either a brown or tan wing, brown head with an orange wing and an all yellow. All of these colors can be tied with either a Kre-inik’s Fly Tyer’s Ribbon head coated with clear epoxy or a head of solid epoxy tinted or colored. Either way, these are very effective flies. If you really want to get fancy, add some very fine pearl flask to either the dyed or colored epoxy.

Lefty says that the addition of the grizzly hackle and red crystal flash as gills generates more strikes. Notice that on this version of the Deceiver there is no body (optional) and no peacock herl. Lefty says that the body is not necessary but is an option if you so desire.

LAS MOSCAS DE JIM TEENY La Pheasant Tail podría ser una mosca que cumple con casi todos los requisitos de la Teeny Nymph, pero no tiene la versatilidad de esta última, aún usando los mismos materiales, un anzuelo y pluma de la cola del faisán de collar. Con las distintas variaciones que Jim ata de su mosca se puede pescar, y de hecho él lo hace, todo tipo de peces. Sus moscas han pescado truchas, además de steelhead, marrones anádromas, todos los salmones del Pacífico, salmón del Atlántico, por nombrar algunos de agua dulce. En agua salada han pescado bonefish, tarpones, barracudas, permit, jack crevalle, entre muchos otros. La técnica de atado de las moscas de Jim Teeny es sumamente simple. Se enrolla sobre la pata de un an-zuelo para ninfas o moscas húmedas un mechón de fibras de la pluma de la cola de un faisán de collar, co-mo queda dicho, y de color natural si se trata de una Teeny Nymph original. Se sujeta el mechón por su ca-bo al final de la pata del anzuelo, dejando unos tres milímetros del cabo como bajo cuerpo, enrollando el mechón luego hacia delante dejando las puntas como patas / barbas de la mosca (ver foto Teeny Nymph Original). Tomando como base este concepto, se pueden hacer diferentes modelos de moscas, como streamers, sal-moneras, para steelhead, o ninfas de todo tipo. El cuerpo base explicado en el párrafo anterior, se puede 2 Si está conectado a Internet y hace click lo llevará a la página correspondiente.

repetir varias veces en un anzuelo de pata larga, por ejemplo, agregándole una cola antes y un ala después, del mismo color de los cuerpos o con colores combinados, brillantes u opacos para steelhead y marrones anádromas y colores más naturales para truchas residentes. Sería interesante probarlas también con nues-tros dorados y taruchas. Si Jim pesca bien especies marinas de gran tamaño y combatividad no sería de ex-trañar el éxito que podría tener con nuestras especies autóctonas de agua dulce.
