Tying Rosenbauer's Wire Mayfly

There are so many slim mayfly nymphs with a brownish olive tone that a generic pattern that sinks quickly and has the right profile in these colors is almost always successful. This one imitates sulfurs and Hendricksons in the larger sizes and the various olives and PMDs in the smaller sizes. It works very well prior to a hatch, or even during the hatch. There are now 11 patterns in the Rosenbauer fly collection on the Orvis web site, patterns from Tom's personal fly box that he developed for his own use.

Tom, why don’t you take the wire under the purple cap on the spool before breaking the wire? It will keep you from end up with a birds nest on the spool.

I thought Kelly Gallop rambled too much, but these are painfully slow.

dont listen to his podcast then. Lots of long (and awkward) silences and transitions.

sorry i missed the stream i was out on the bois brule river. just recently started tying flys and did not make to many weighted nymphs which would have been nice yesterday because they did not want dry flys or streamers at all
