I was tying a bunch of these for an upcoming fishing trip and decided to photograph a few for the blog. I dont tie them with traditional materials but I like to substitute the microfibett tails with moose body hairs and the fluffy wing with zlon. So here's the few that I tied up.
Grey
Black
Olive
Olive Bi-color
Baetis
Tan
Tan Bi-color
Brown
I like fishing these flies just under the surface using a 9 ft 6X leader and some tiny split shot 15-18 inches above the fly.
Using your imagination, there's more colors and color combinations that can be tied. Try using different materials such as pheasant and turkey tails.

I really like the Tan Bi-Color. All great looking flies though....I'll have to tie some up soon.
Really looking forward to reading about your trip!
