Tying Unsinkable Dry Flies

This blog will take off where the book "Unsinkable Dry Flies" left off, listing new and different ways to tie flies by attaching a air bubble to the hook. The flies displayed may be imitations of flies found in other reference materials or something completely unique. If you have a new idea email us, we will endeavor to post it on the Blog with your credit.

The development of this fly was suggested to me by a local fly tier and shop owner Tim Tollett after seeing my DC Shuckster.    Fish this fly anywhere when stone flies are out, but especially under overhanging bushes and trees as well as cut banks.
