MacFlies 🌨

I tie flies, I try flies.

Born near the mountains, raised by the sea. Living by the rivers found in between.

@DesireeAmerica4 Offered to help change a flat one day, was told my help wasnt needed. Drove by an hr later and saw them in the same spot. They had put the spare on but couldn't tighten the nuts. Explained they had to lower jack to stop wheel from spinning. Hopefully, they learned something 🙂

An elder fellow, on this river this morning, gave me this fly. It would be a great pattern done in black & sized down to a #16/18 to match the constant hatches of Chimarra on the river lately. Got to get back on the vice soon.

@idbusa @Frisco_Tom Purple is such a surprisingly effective color for trout. I recently tried a Purple Haze parachute after getting numerous rejections on Adam's parachutes and BWO parachutes. As soon as that Haze touched the water, the trout took it.

@nekostube Very nice fly! This would be a good pattern for the Chimarra that are hatching where I live.

@PeaboTheWizard Damn, this hits close to home. My uncle passed away yesterday. It was so sudden I'm still not sure how to feel. I'm going to pour one out for him tomorrow on the river, and I'll pour another one out for your loved one as well. Keep strong, brother.

@idbusa Awesome brookie!

[MacFlies 🌨 @burnednotdead]

@cedar253 What a beaut! What did you catch it on?

3 days after season opening, and I finally catch a fish worth a damn haha. I got shaken off while fighting another big rainbow upstream, so landing this one really made my day!

Yellow Sally Stonefly • Quill Gordon Mayfly • Baetis Mayfly • Yellow Sally & Baetis.

These examples will really help me with correcting, coloring, proportions, and sizing.

@HyjekStefan White Monster is my go-to for energy drinks. Monster Ultra Peach is a close second, though.

@Ride_Reel One of the joys of living on a small island, lots of rivers near by.🙂

[MacFlies 🌨 @burnednotdead]

Another good day out on the river after work.

@Ranger0291 Haha thanks! Caught this one in the Dunk River, PE. It's one of the local rivers I frequent. Can't wait for the Brook Trout to come up stream soon!

@NadiaHussain96 Thanks! I love to see a healthy fish with such great colors.

[MacFlies 🌨 @burnednotdead]

@mb_tolbert Always try to keep them in the water. I try not to have them out longer than I can hold my breath, haha.

[MacFlies 🌨 @burnednotdead]

@WOPR68 I was definitely thankful for being able to land it. Love to see trout that size in this tiny river. It's a testament to the health of the waterways.

@bluec0llarman Thanks! Good start to the season for me.
