Club member Jason Scannell will be tying a variation of the low fat minnow developed by Cheech of Fly Fish Food. He will be tying a standard size and a smaller size often referred to as the baby fat minnow. This pattern can imitate a variety of fish and the possibilities are only limited by the tyer’s imagination. Jason has used it locally to catch smallmouth and largemouth bass. As well as hybrid striped bass and white bass. It is a fairly simple fly to tie but it is best tied with UV resin.

Hook: Gamakatsu carp A-1 size 4
Thread: 140 denier thread; prefer white but others can be used to provide contrast
Body:

Hareline Bruiser Blend alpha wolf and cream colors

Club Member Dave Conroy is going to demonstrate tying the Aurora nymph, it is a great fly for trout in spring thru early summer. It can also be tied with a dubbed body for trout and panfish. Rubber leg nymphs like this are just about his favorite flies to tie and fish. The movement of the legs and tail and the overall buggy appearance make them real fish catchers.

Here’s the recipe for the Aurora Nymph fly.
Hook: size 12 or 14 scud or size 12 or 14 jig.
Bead: 1/8″ for size 12, 7/64″ for size 14, gold or copper.
Thread: 8/0, black or olive.
Tail and legs: fine round rubber, brown or tan.
Body: UTC mirage tinsel, size large.
Ribbing: small gold or copper wire.
Thorax: peacock ice dub.
Wing case: UTC mirage tinsel, size large.
