Baeting a hook

It's Spring baetis time ( or will be soon where you are).

This little bug is so important in the waters I most fish that I'm always on
the look out for new patterns based on it. Often, just "something
different" can be a big factor in heavily fished areas, during hatches the
fish get to know well.

Got any favorite but unusual "Blue Winged Olive", just plain "Olive", or
baetis ties ?



I've been tying some wool flies, based on patterns developed by Dr.
James Merlihan. Some of this has been shown in Fly Rod and Reel
magazine, and he has given a couple of seminars at the Maryland Sheep
and Wool Festival. I believe that he is patenting the process, so I
feel uneasy posting much in the way of details of it. These flies are
tied with unspun wool in any color that you want, and they float like
a cork. When they drown, they resemble a good caddis nymph, but in
small sizes they are good baetis imitators. I've had very good luck
with these catching very unexcitable trout.

Also, What about the Usual, ties with snow shoe hare?
