Jordan's No. 80 was created to commemorate Richard A. Jordan's 80 birthday in April 2007. A nice visit with his grandson, Dan Hillier, was the inspiraion for this fly. Dan had great suggestions for the fly since he is an advid fly fisher himself.

A new wing material known as SF Blend, rainbow color was my inspiration for this fly pattern. I am sure that it will be a hot Spring fly to catch salmon in April. Who couldn't hook up with one of these!

The flies' name was derived from Anne and Mark's camp location in Maine where they hold yearly spring fishing trips with family and friends on Pleasant Pond.

I have tied this as a tandem with 5 salmon colored beads on the wire and think it fishy myself. Opening day will tell- it is my fly of choice.

Having created the Caratunk Hook Up I couldn't resist using the SF Blend again for a great fish eating fly. Inspired by the green and orange of the beautiful Fall colors found in wild brook trout in Maine.

This fly was the second of the "Hook Up" series, and is brother to the R&W Hook Up for Joshua Karabin.

This fly created for a "Maine Boy" that loves to fish this great state. The flie's name might be one of my favorites. In appearance, the fly takes on a hint of an emerald shiner's colors.

Gari's Hope was commissioned by Gari Smith-Bayreuther husband Bill to mark a special birthday. Thanks go to Pat Lunt for his generous contribution of the peacock feathers that make this fly a unique and beautiful fly.

The Hexamongous was created to imitate an emerging Hexagenious or the color of the fly may be altered to imitate a green drake emerger. It is meant to hang on the surface of the water with the wood duck wing suspending the upper portion of the fly. Use a considerable amount of fly floatant on the wing section of the fly and it will float for a long time. The fly fishes best when you tie it on just before you know that the hex hatch will begin on flat water, usually in the evening or very early morning.

This special fly was developed to meets the demand of a good emergent hex imitation that could float well and for extended periods of time. Real Hexagenious bugs were captured from Kimball Pond including an adult fully emerged hex as well as an emerging hex in the early stages of coming out of its shuck. The early stage emergent is what the Hexamongous is purposed to imitate. After storing the fly in a small bottle with rubbing alcohol it was studied for under body color, size, shape, and coloration patterns. Many other patterns exist for this fly, but none float as well nor match the shape as well as the Hexamongous. Enjoy fishing this great fly in mid summer when the hex hatch is best.

If you wish to tie this fly all I ask is that it be tied as closely as possible to these directions without variations other than color to match you favorite hatch, as well as the name of the fly , Dumaine's "Hexamongous," must go with special fly pattern as well.

Legs: small dark under feather from wood duck often attached to base of wood duck flank feathers

Use a curved lightweight hook to match the size of your hatch. Tie on the tail, floss, and turkey back , in that order, to the end of the hook shank. Dub an amply plump tapered body on the back two thirds of the shank. Fold over the turkey tail feather portion and tie off. Then use to floss to create a segmented ribbed body. Pull together the tips of a wood duck feather that does not have barred markings, (The barred ones tend to be to thick on the tip section to cut and tie in well.) and tie the tips facing the eye of the hook with the underside of the feather facing up. The pinch method of tying on materials works very well here. Then use a generous amount of dubbing for the front third of the fly that is left. Fold over the remaining wood duck feather to create a loop. Use the pinch method to tie it off. Add the legs with the small skinny under feathers that are found among the wood duck feathers. Another option is to use partridge pulled from the stem of the feather and tied on to represent the front two large legs of an emergent hex or green drake. The body color and hook size may be varied to match your local hatch or to match a green drake. The beauty of the fly is how well it floats and represents the real bug.
