In the late 80’s, long before beadheads reached the Americas and as my slack-line nymphing game came into its own, I became darn near a one-pattern angler. The fly of choice was a commercial rendition of Cal Bird’s Bird’s Nest. With a few #16’s, a spool of 5X, and some BB shot, I felt unstoppable. Once beads came forward, I began working on my own version of the Bird’s Nest, and after a good deal of experimentation settled on the Dirty Bird, which was my first-ever royalty pattern.

Gamakatsu SL12S-1X Short, 2.0 - The SL12-S has been one of Gamakatsu’s most popular hooks for tying tarpon, billfish and other big game flies. The new 1xShort version broadens the appeal by increasing the wire size for additional strength and shortening the shank length to accommodate smaller patterns that have become the rage in recent years. The SL12-S features a straight eye and is made from 1x heavy Gamakatsu wire that’s ideal for use with most trophy-class, saltwater species.

Jigged Prince Nymph Tungsten This fly makes an excellent anchor fly for Euro style nymphing, but is equally at home under a strike indicator. It sinks great and is a wonderful attractor pattern. These standard flies are tied on Umpqua's Competition Jig Hook (C400BL) and our new Tungsten Slotted Beads (they are HEAVY). Much of the competition crowd is using this very hook much more frequently.
