Upwing / Downwing




So what is your favourite style of trout fly? I tie a lot of variations on these little numbers with snowshoe hare wings. I still call them Usuals, but these aren't that close to the original Usual pattern. I tie them upwing and downwing in different sizes and colours to match the hatch. Sometimes for the Grand, I tie them with just a little nub of wing. I like crinkled poly material for the shuck, and I like the whole fly tied a little bit buggy, or impressionistic. Sometimes I have good success with a longer shuck too.
