Paraleptophlebia Mayfly Hatches Look for these hatches in Oregon's McKenzie and Deschutes, Idaho's Henry's Fork, Montana's Rock Creek and Gallatin, Wyoming's Yellow Stone, Colorado's South Platte and Frying Pan, and Alberta's Bow River. You can be assured there are many more lesser known streams in the west that have equal hatches of Mahogany duns. If you live in the Pacific Northwest, this fall mayfly hatch can bring enough big trout to the surface to distract you from steelhead fishing. The best thing is, that they hatch during a period of the day when steelhead fishing is normally slow. Look for hatches of Mahogany duns when water temperatures rise to 50-degrees in the spring and decrease to 50-degrees in the fall. Hatches are usually mid-day from around 10:00am-3:00pm.
Paradun	Parachute	Soft Hackle	Nymph

	Mahogany Dun nymphs can live in faster water, but migrate to calm water to hatch. This can be quiet water along the shore or larger slicks behind mid-stream boulders or trailing weeds. The trout know this and often move with the insects providing some great dry fly fishing. Hatches occur in early spring and late fall and often provide surface fishing when no other
hatches are available. Mahogany Duns are of the genus Paraleptophlebia. The following is encapsulated from Western Mayfly Hatches: "There are 39 North American species, 25 Western species, of which 5 species are very important to the fly fisher. Some western species, for example Paraleptophlebia gregalis, begin to emerge as early as March, with hatches common in April and May. These species grow through summer as nymphs, overwinter as nearly mature nymphs before hatching in spring. Other species, such as P. debilis and the largest specie of all, P. bicortuta, hatch in the fall, starting in early September and continuing through October and even early November. Hatches usually begin in late morning and continue through mid-afternoon. Emergence in spring is prompted when water temperature reaches 50-degrees for several days. Emergence in the fall is prompted when water temperature cools to around the 50-degree mark." Western Mayfly Hatches is required reading if you really want to become familiar with this hatch.

		Mahogany Dun, Paradun Colors may vary between watersheds and time of year. Probably several different sub-species might be involved. This is a darker version as tied by Bob Quigley. It has been a good producer on both the Deschutes and Yakima Rivers.

		Pheasant Tail Nymph The original Pheasant Tail Nymph was tied and fished by Frank Sawyer, who was the river keeper on the Wiltshire Avon, a chalk stream in England. The fly at left is an American modification of the original fly and best imitates various species of mayfly nymphs, especially members of PMD, Mahogany Dun and Callibaetis families. This is one of the most popular trout flies in the U.S.

		Soft Hackle, Pheasant Tail This fly imitates many different species of emerging mayflies and is equally effective in lakes and streams. In moving water, this fly can be fished upstream on a slack line and allowed to sink with the weight of the hook. Then as the fly passes you on its down stream path, allow the line and leader to come under tension. Slowly raise the rod tip and bring the fly to the surface as if it were an emerger rising from the bottom of the river. Don't fish this fly on lightweight tippet. Strikes can be smashing.

Fly Tying Foam Soft foam made from polymers and synthetic rubber are very popular for tying modern flies. Because of air bubble trapped within the material, foam floats because it is lighter than water. All manner of foam materials are used for trout, salmon, steelhead, bass and saltwater flies.
Foam Cylinders	Thin Fly Foam Sheets Sheets

Foam Cylinders

These are perfect for tying dry damsel flies. Use the olive cylinders for newly hatched damsels and the blue cylinders for flying adults. Black cylinders are great for small ant bodies. Yellow cylinders are perfect for low floating, unsinkable Yellow Sally stoneflies. Various colors make perfect wing posts for parachute dry flies. These foam posts are more visible and float more reliably than any hair or feather post. Ten 1/16" diameter, 1 1/4" long pieces in each package.

Parachute Salmon Fly Tied with foam sheet

GP Spey The next time Glacial silt puts your favorite steelhead river out of shape, tie one of these on.
Black	Orange	Purple

The classic versions of the Spey and General Practitioner flies are as effective and legendary as they are beautiful. If a steelhead and salmon angler had to make a choice between the two of these flies and could fish only one, the process of choosing might take the better part of a fishing day and require a Tylenol chaser. Innovative Northwest steelhead, salmon, and spey-casting angler Charles St. Pierre has created a another unique fly by combining the best attributes of two legendary flies to form a blended version of the classic General Practitioner and Dee style Spey flies called “The GP Spey”.
With the addition of a spey length marabou collar and a longer spey style hackle instead of the classic saddle hackle of the General Practitioner, the fly has a slightly longer and larger profile to increase its action and its ability to attract fish. The tinsel ribbed rear half of the fly along with the bright synthetic dubbed body creates a subtle glow and flash to the core of the silhouette. The tail, eyes, and shellback are classically set and add to the overall natural appearance and appeal of the fly. It is dressed lightly to increase its ability to sink and be cast easily for both single hand and two handed casters using either floating or sinking lines.
The “GP Spey” and the color variations used for this series are standards for anadramous fly fishing and have proven over the years to be extremely effective on many of the steelhead streams of the Northwest and British Columbia. This is a personal favorite fly for summer and fall with low water conditions and one of the best all around “Go to” flies in the angling business for nearly any salmon or steelhead fishing situation and season.

GP Spey Fly, Black A good bet any time, in any water condition. Scores best in river that have larger fish.
