Scott Sanchez's Mega Beetle Fly Pattern - Fly of the Month
Well it is officially terrestrial season. I was out mowing a field this past weekend--
Grasshoppers and crickets were all over the place. But this is not going to be
another hopper pattern. I'm sure I’ll tie plenty more this summer but right now
I've got plenty in my box. I'm going to tie a beetle pattern for you this month. But
oddly enough, it's about as big as a hopper.
Burr's Bright Fly - Fly of the Month
Now I’ve got an interesting dry fly for you today, that you probably won't find in a lot of books out there. I came across it recently when flipping through Kenneth Bay's 1979 American Fly Tier's Handbook.
MK Sulphur Emerger - Fly of the Month
This tactical pattern is most useful in flat, slow-moving water where trout get a long look at the fly before making an eat-or-don’t-eat decision. It suggests a “stuck-in-the-shuck” dun, and can work well when targeting rising trout that have refused more conventional patterns.

Flashback Sulphur Nymph Pattern - Fly of the Month
This Sulphur nymph variation is a trout pleaser. With a tungsten bead, it gets down in the zone quickly and goes right to work. The flashback not only helps to draw attention, but also helps minic the splitting thorax during emergence. If Sulphur Mayflies are in your watershed, this is a great one to tie on as part of your nymph rig.
