Being that I love wet flies, soft hackles, flymphs, and spiders, I thought why not have a tutorial on tying the black gnat. The recipe I followed is the one the famous James Leisenring wrote and tied. With the addition of a thread rib for extra protection. This fly is proven effective time and time again. The fly shows what the famous north country spiders of the u.k. show. Simplicity for imitation is best.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
MATERIALS </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
HOOK: Wet fly hook 14-20</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
THREAD: Claret </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BODY- 2-3 black turkey tail fibers from the top of the tail</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
HACKLE: purple iridescent starling</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
RIB: tag end of tying thread. </div>

When people fished for food and survival not for sport. That alone should tell you how affective it can be. This one can be extra fun to tie because you get to whip up your own dubbin blend. The colors called for are orange, yellow, olive,and tan. I mixed all those colors and through some tan U.V. Ice dub. So let’s tie one up for that trout of a life time!<br />

This substance is called cobblers wax. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know veniards sells it. But you can make it yourself as well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just take some bees wax and resin and mix it together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the wax I use to make sparse dubbed bodies and dubbing loops! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wax the thread and then just use dubbin very sparsely. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just touch the dubbin to the thread and what sticks is good. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Make a dubbing loop by placing your finger on the tying thread,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And bring the thread over the hook shank to form the loop. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlEQ88zOOrmaWSCPT3lZGSzcJCIHpZrSZMHzIHyklEbRwXd9Z0D-glHvhKnwKhuxmzozpqTcSTQOQyWNhuweGBPKaUiygjxtp50K2_ybHCgmHs5Uaq_xtnnbu0U5IHvwcV-pWlIVHnxMG7/s1600/IMG_1214.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1049" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlEQ88zOOrmaWSCPT3lZGSzcJCIHpZrSZMHzIHyklEbRwXd9Z0D-glHvhKnwKhuxmzozpqTcSTQOQyWNhuweGBPKaUiygjxtp50K2_ybHCgmHs5Uaq_xtnnbu0U5IHvwcV-pWlIVHnxMG7/s400/IMG_1214.JPG" width="261" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now you can spin the thread to make a dubbing brush. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can do this with certain bobbin holders like Marc petijean bobbin. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Or you can use the numerous spinners that are out there. </div>

Now it’s time to wind your dubbing loop forward. If you use a dubbing tool. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You will need to advance the thread back to where we started the thread.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then wind your dubbing brush up touching turns and tie off once you’ve made to the front. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Prepare your hen saddle tips. Cut off the fluffy part.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Place the good side of the feather away from on another in your fingers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then while pinching the tips, pull back the fibers to get the size of your wing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like a wing the same length as the hook shank for these flies. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then hold them on top, points facing the rear of the fly. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pinch and loop them on top. This can be tricky, just take your time. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now tie in the hackle. Have the shiny side up. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcbjdg1U20mialMnO3RF5_F0sdvqETGIttVCzvqqJ0ZaJ-0_AYpawKUe3DDVzVOkw9sIlMNMRFAW27PMElxm-UKCUR-wnGhL5onvOHNdaJrEeKb48as0GDoMbLN6w8tNMla9ZIwX-hXmcj/s1600/IMG_1219.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="824" data-original-width="1600" height="205" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcbjdg1U20mialMnO3RF5_F0sdvqETGIttVCzvqqJ0ZaJ-0_AYpawKUe3DDVzVOkw9sIlMNMRFAW27PMElxm-UKCUR-wnGhL5onvOHNdaJrEeKb48as0GDoMbLN6w8tNMla9ZIwX-hXmcj/s400/IMG_1219.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wind the hackle, stroking the fibers back as you wind. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Depending on how your hackle is will determine the amount turns. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A good rule of thumb with hen neck, is two-three turns. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Whip finish and cut the thread. Head cement if you like too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
And this concludes the tying of the cow dung hackle wing. The original calls for turkey for the wing.<br />

Hey everyone. Took a break from fly tying and fishing. Had been doing lots of concerts. Small local as well as well known bands. But good news! I’m back at the vice and tying up a storm. <br />
This is what I’ve done so far. Still have more spiders to tie.<br />

Took a break from posting and taking pics of ties and flying. I've been thinking about getting back at it. I've still been tying and flying, just the camera has not been in the picture.... lol I need to reboot the blog here, since photo bucket decided to steal my images for some of the post and I know links are down on some topics on the side bar. Ill have all these problems done soon. <br />
<br />
So my question to my subscribers is, which flies or techniques would you like to see here? Leave me a comment and let me know! maybe the infamous golden oldie?<br />

Hit a favorite stretch of limestone. The flow was excellent and the water clear. The stoneflies were out and the occasional olive. Didn't take long before I saw a rise. <div> I tied on the hackle hammer and first cast got a nice wild brown. I then tied on a black wonder wing stone. </div><div> The wonder wing was the ticket. As I walked the stream slowly I watch for rises and picked them of with the wonder wing. The rises and stones stopped as early evening rolled in. So with more than 2 I headed on out.

I have no idea why though as i am not a fan of snow or cold weather. So I got out this afternoon in Cato. Which is a snow storm that hit the northeast today. The snow was very heavy at times and with lots of huge snow clumps falling from trees while i fished. Bombarding the stream.<br />
I fished the afternoon away, with little results till i switched out my nymphs for an infamous pink worm. Then it was on like donkey kong. I hooked and landed a really nice rainbow, that was a blast on my 2wt. As well as several wild browns. <br />
It took awhile but eventually my hands got numb to the point of pain and I was getting tired of getting beaten by the falling chunks of snow from the trees. It was as if i was getting hit by snow balls. So with frozen limbs and more than four, I headed on home. <br />

Hit my local limestoner. The weather was mild with a slit chill to the air, with the impending cold front approaching. Thanks to recent rain, the flow was very nice. Which was good since no bugs were active. So I tied on a pair of small nymphs, a high test hares ear and a rubber diamond ducky, both in a size #16.<br />
Didnt take long to find some wild browns in a nice run. The pair of nymphs caught equally but it seemed the ducky got some more aggressive takes. The high test hairs ear was tied on a scud hook with a small black tungsten bead. The ducky was beadless with black legs.<br />
As the sun dipped behind the ridgeline, the breeze got even colder and it just felt like snow was on the way. So with no coat on, I headed on home.<br />

Well got out the other morning before the real heat kicked in. Went and hit a local limestone stream that was not effected by the heavy thunderstorms from the night before. Got on the water around 9, a little later than I intended but it was okay. It was already well into the mid 80s, so i decided to wet wade. The water was a nice 61 degrees and felt wonderful.<br />
Picked a stretch that has been good to me threw the years. <br />

I saw several trout rising all around in the flat. Couldnt see anything flying, hatching, or even in the film. With past experiences like that, I knew to try something black. Black is only easy to see in bright glare, next to impossible to see in the shade. Well for me at least. Also with the water being flat glass, I opted for a soft hackle.<br />

The delicateness of a soft hackle is vital at times on glass water. These flies were designed and fished on similar waters across the Atlantic. Many dont realize you can fish soft hackle flies in the film. I will soak a few in hydro stop so they are waterproofed. This way the the hackle will not absorb water. It will keep the fly floating and catching. The hydro stop also will not alter the flies material properties, so it will still sit right down in the film. <br />

I fish them just like any dry fly, up, up and across, quartering, and directly down. I took several fish with a simple up stream approach with my 2 wt and about a 15ft leader system. The little black soft <br />
hackle wasnt refused once. I had several better trout taking the fly first and even witnessed 2 trout competing for it. Which was pretty cool to see. And "with more than 4" I headed on home. <br />

*** I forgot to mention in the video that I only use neck hackle on these. I find the saddle hackle barbs too large width wise. Neck hackle is just a lot more supple and that's a great thing for a spinner. </div>

It was an outing with my T.U. Chapter. 8 of us in total with a few more friends and chapter members meeting up with us to fish. We stayed at the dream catcher lodge. Which is very modest with pricing and the cabins are very nice.<br />
<div>
Half way up I realized I had forgotten my camera! With my phones cam being scratched to hell I was s.o.l. As far as pics went. </div>
<div>
The first lights out on Friday was great. Many sulphurs and caddis around. As for the next two nights out well they sucked to say the least. Tons of tiny sulphurs coming of but not a flash, boil, or any rise forms. </div>
<div>
We hit the beaver kill for some late morning early afternoon nymphing. My iso nymph did very well, landing me 2 very beautiful bows that had my Lamson guru screaming. </div>
<div>
The iso nymph is modified version of the pattern I've tied in the past but similar. I will do a tutorial for the pattern very soon. <br />
All in all the outing was a blast. Lots of laughs and great food. With everyone catching trout. </div>
<div>
As for the nomad, bitch, and the savage. I have been very pleased with the tech pack set up(bitch creek back pack and the savage creek chest pack) and the fishpond nomad net. <br />
Great to be back to posting<br />

I always tie a few small black ones. They work really well on streams with good little black caddis populations. The fly is effective almost all day long and is best fished down and across with mends to allow the fly to drift naturally or dead, then allow to swim when the mend straightens. <br />

And the fly is complete. Dont worry about being neat with a wing. The more ragged and rough the fly comes out, the better it will fish. </div>

Well got out this after noon for some flying on my local limestoner. Not much surface activity upon my arrival. Nor did it pick up any while I fished. I tied on a dry dropper rig consisting of a paraloop hammer and a rusty blues buzzer for the dropper. Been some time since I fished with buzzers and had forgot just how well they worked. Wit hin a few drifts, I was into a really nice wild brown. He wouldnt let me photo him of coarse and he got me in the finger with the dry when he went streaking back into the run. <br />
I fished up a good section of stream and the fish was good. Only managed 1 brown on the dry, and all the rest came on the buzzer. I trashed my last camera while out fishing so I'm a little hesitant to take pictures anymore. But i did get some shots. <br />
Saw bwos hatching both size 16 and 24s, as well as some tiny pale duns. For whatever reason I didnt notice any rises for them though. All in all, it was good time out.<br />

Wow, cant believe i havnt posted in 4 months! Didnt realize it had been so long! My apoligies to all my subscribers. I will continue to post, and coming up will be more tutorials and videos! loop wing duns and paraloop hammers to name a few. <br />
I have been out lately here and there. The tricos are still hatching on the local limestoners here in New Jersey and Pa. Plan to be on the stream around noon till three. Dont forget about caddis as they are still present on all the streams. The bwo hatches have been pretty decent lately. And trout are still willing to eat terrestrials. <br />
Stay tuned! Thank you<br />

Got down to a nice pool and hung out till the trout decided to pop. Or rather bugs got going. . <div> I got a dink first but then I got 2 nice hens. Both trout fought like hell on my 2 wt. I sure do love nice size wild browns on that rod. </div><div> There wasn't much of a hatch or spinner fall at lights out and no trout were rising.

We hit a local stream where the water was up a little but still low and slightly off color. We found some trout rising in a tail out of a pool to bwo spinners, but the trout didnt mind taking a skittering caddis I had on my line already.<br />
The rising stopped, so we went to nymph rigs. The fishing was HOT. Lots of trout hitting the nymphs hard and fighting even harder. The fish were all over a size 16 High test hares ear. I twist up the little h.t.h.e. with a little tungsten bead to get the small fly down in deeper or heavier water areas.<br />
By early afternoon, the mayflies began to hatch. Quill gordons and Hendrickson mixed with olives started pouring off and the trout eagerly fed upon them. Didnt see any march browns or caddis other than the chimaras hiding under the leaves. Josh did well with a parachute hendrickson he tied and I did well with a hackle stacker adams emerger.<br />
