I got inspired talking with a couple tiers doing lake bugs at the Ellensburg Fly Fishing Fair last weekend. What a cool event, btw. Anyway, I haven't fished a Six Pack in a few years but after watching one get tied, I went home and did the same. It was the only bug that caught fish for me yesterday at Nunnally.

Rod-

Nice ties, I think that second one with the red bead would be a good dragon nymph. I tied up a bunch of six packs and black carey's this winter, haven't had a chance to use them quite yet. I heard the fly fishing fair was great, had to work and couldn't attend. Maybe next year.

The one with the red bead is very similar to a fly pattern called the olive willy, one hot fly.. see picture.

Yup, I tie and fish Olive Willies as well. I like the six pack for the slim profile and bright color. Olive willy is chunkier and darker.

Not meaning to be critical, but your bug doesn't look very much like a Sixpack. Here's a typical Sixpack as it was tied by Karl Haufler.

Dammit, trying again.

Hmmm, I guess it just took longer than I thought.

Preston-

I'd fish yours, too. Something about that yellow dyed pheasant and lake-dwelling trout.

Nice ties pocket but man you do tie up some nice lake flies. Found some at Nunnally, good!.

What you doing the weekend of the 22nd?
