I like tying simple flies. I lose a lot of flies when I fish. So spending more than a few minutes tying a fly and then losing it on my first cast is just too frustrating.

I was very happy that Steve Anger from North Country Angler, taught this simple and fast damsel fly dry last night at “Bugs and Brews”. Two materials some craft foam and a large grizzly hackle.

The pictured flies are a size 14 for brook trout in the local mountain ponds. I think if I vary the sizes, They will work for brook trout in small sizes and larger sizes for Bass.
