Grape Slushy Tying Video

Tie this one up this holiday for summer fishing love.

Add a red bead for weight and some added bling to make this fly sing this spring.

Hope you are enjoying the family this week. If they get too annoying retire to the tying desk and spin up some Grape Slushy’s.

A wildly popular fly at times when the fish key on the purple color. Which seems to work often here and beyond. Check out this killer article about what fish see subsurface on MidCurrent.

Nearly to the end of 2020. Plan your 2021 trip to the Mo.[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://vimeo.com/122344746″ ratio=”4×3″]

Clouser Crayfish Tying Video

August nymphing requires lots of patience, potential weeds crowding your fly, and the Clouser Crayfish. Or a Zirdle.

A top fly for many nymphers this time of year. Add a split shot or not. Many let it ride as you drift over waving grass and bucket filled moving waters. The takes can be violent. Sometimes looks like the fish ate going 100 mph! The bobber certainly moves.

Six feet! If you cannot se the Indi move that far, fly fishing may not be your game?

One of our favorite “big nymphs” here on the Missouri, and it’s popular for bass and trout other places as well. We’ve put together this Clouser Crayfish fly tying kit with everything you need to tie 2 dozen flies. Perfect for yourself or as a gift.

Enjoy your Thursday. Seasonal temps here today with daytime highs in the mid 70’s. Warmer again as we move into next week.

Order your Clouser Crayfish today!

Zirdle Bug Just Add Vise Kit and Video

Many are fishing the Zirdle as the top fly on the deep water nymph rig.

Emulates crayfish, or just something that resembles food.

A popular fly throughout the summer months. And in August you will want this fly on your rig. The Zirdle is also a bug that leaves fly bins early in the season. Why not tie up a couple dozen for your trip to the Mo this year? A smart move!

With the water deeper today and maybe the near future tie this and toss at banks that are 2′-4′ deep. Hold on.

Enjoy this Tuesday in Craig. Raining still. Yesterday rained cats and dogs, all day long.

Dry fly fishing still good. Gotta look a bit harder. Good PMD hatch Monday as well. Caddis will take them on top as well. Find you bug and fish it.

Even if it is a Zirdle.

Tying the Bubble Yum Scud

When you think about the Mighty Mo, and nymphing, you think of scuds, sows, and in the winter months…Pink!

Ninchs…I looked up how to make last names plural, so I think this is right…Bubble Yum Scud today on the HH Blog.

Check this baby out. It has a heavy tungsten bead to get you to depth rapidly. And if you are not a fan of using split shot to get your flies into the zone, you will love the Bubble Yum. It’ll get you there.

A guide fly for sure as this is commonly a pattern that lives on the upper end of many Missouri River full-timers nymph rig.

Scuds catch fish on the Missouri River. And many other similar resources around America.

Get this kit for your Holiday tying sessions!

You like stripping? Yeah, we do too. It works!

Tie this feller up this winter or this late fall for 2019, and the future. 2020! It’s right around the corner.

Integrate differing colored beads, body color, tail. A fly you can run with. And pretty easy. Remember to spend your dollars with the shop that provides your daily Missouri River entertainment.

Tuesday Tying Kits Half Chicken

A local classic that I first saw fishing with Mark Daly and LT back in the day. Don’t know who created it, but one of those two certainly had their hands in it. Both long time Mo River anglers and two of Squeeky’s influences for sure. Learned a ton about the river from both of those cats.

Tie this up for any PMD, caddis, or even March Brown action this coming summer. It begins to produce this month in conjunction with the Mother’s Day Caddis.

Fish it. Do it. Buy it. Tie it.

More Headhunters Just Add Vise kits on the way soon. 7wt. and John have been hashing out some new favorites. We can’t wait to see the next evolution of this famous Craig Montana product homegrown from your information and education source on the Missouri River.
