All Below flies are named after their respective movies starring Clint Eastwood.

A lot of different knots are available for your use while you’re out on a fishing trip. Some of the knots you can use are the Arbor knot, the Albright knot, the Blood knot, dropper loop, nail knot and improved clinch. Each of these knots have a different purpose.

Albright knots are employed in joining together your fly reel backing line and your fly line. Remember as you tie this knot to wind your loops neatly around the loop of the larger line to ensure that it will pass through your guides easily. Some fishermen will coat their Albright knots with rubber cement which will make it more secure as well as easier to pass through your guides.

FISHING METHOD :Floating line with 10 -16 Ft leader. Use the count down method to get the fly just off the bottom. Use a slow to medium retrieve (4 – 8 inch steady strips)  with a several quick 2 – 3 inch pulls every 30 – 40 seconds. Use the same retrieve for sinking lines. Try using this fly on the shoals during the evening.

TYING NOTES:

1. First pinch your barb, then lay a thread base down.
2. Add the weight to body, secure it with tying thread.
3. Tie in the golden pheasant fibers for the tail.
4. Tie in the rib, tie in the chenille for the body.
5. Wrap the chenille up the shank of the hook, stopping 3/4 of the way up.
6. Reverse wrap the rib up the body (4 – 6 wraps).
7. Tie in the pheasant rump and wrap 3 – 4 times, remembering to leave enough room for a small thread head.
8. Whip finish and cement the head of the fly.
