I think the picture shows enough to be able to tie it without instructions.

This is one of the old staples of flies, one you can use anywhere, and should be in your fly box. So simple.

This is also basically the same as the Tinsel Minnow, but the Tinsel Minnow has a red hackle fiber beard and optional Jungle Cock cheeks.

This is one of the Munn Lake recommended flies. It is a great fly and super simple to tie. I personally also substitute CDC for the Bright white Antron wing to have two variants in the fly box.

Here is a great tying tutorial for this pattern.

Take note of how the tippets used for the tail are split with the tag end of the tying thread. I learned this a few years ago and use this method for this type of tail all the time now - works awesome!!

Here's the history on this fly, it's a great informative website on the varieties of this fly.

Here are the two flies we will be tying April 28 for your reference. Sorry for the unprofessional pics, but hey, they are what you get. 8^)

I will give you the recipe/tying order at the time we tie them, but these flies are readily found and the recipe is easy enough to find.

Tying tip: Fluorescent colors actually maintain their colors no matter the depth they are fished at. So if you want a fly to be red below 3 feet, use fluorescent red, otherwise the color red does not show below that depth.
