Flyfish#1 Chat time 7:00 pm Tying starts 7:30 pm I had originally thought about demonstrating a Klinkhammer Special this month. However, given that it’s really Cutthroat Season about now, and after seeing what my friend Forin Sabac tied for GRR last Saturday, I changed my mind and decided to reprise his pattern for HBFFA this month. Pattern: American Coachman Hook: #6 2XL Mustad Wet Fly Hook Thread: 8/0 Tan Tail: Red Duck Quill fibres Rib: Silver Flat Tinsel Body: Lemon Yellow Floss or Wool Hackle: Brown Hen Hackle Wing: White Bucktail or alternates like deer or polar bear Comment: This was originally seen in a fly shop in Courtney by Jim Kilburn who noted it in article in the 1968 issue of Western Fish and Game. It was subsequently popularized by Art Lingren in his book “Fly Patterns of British Columbia” for beach fishing for Sea Run Cutties There are many variations of material for body and wing. Sometimes The wing is tied in behind the hackle but most often in front. For those interested in a couple of other Cutthroat Trout Flies For the GRR Fly Tying session on Saturday morning February 20th, We will be tying the Conventional Muddler Minnow and the Rolled Muddler. To access that Zoom session go to GRR main web page and click on the Zoom link The session starts with coffee time about 9am with tying starting at 10. Dave Robinson
