This month Gene Taylor will lead us in tying two very simple, yet very effective patterns for rainbow trout on the Little Missouri River. These have also been very good for bream on local waters. But beware! There are some traditionalists who look upon these "flies" with disgust and ire! The first is the "Mop Fly". This simple pattern imitates a crane fly larvae, and is very effective. Discussion of the Mop Fly and tying instructions can be found here:

The second is the "Sqwirmy Wormy". No fly - other than the Mop Fly - has created more controversy in the fly fishing community. Ignore the partisans - this fly really works! The origin and details of this fly can be found in this article on the Louisiana Sportsman website.

Since these are easy-to-tie flies, we encourage beginners to come to this session. Bring your tools - if none, the club has sets for use during the session. All materials are provided.
