An Easy Effective Fly Tie

Thinking about tying some of these puppies up this week. They're a really simple tie and make for a very effective imitation of a sow bug which works quite well on the river Blue at times.

Here's what you'll need to tie this fly.

Hook: Nymph or Scud hook 2X sizes range from 8 to 20.
Thread: Red, olive, light grey, optional.
Shellback: Pearl tinsel or latex strip.
Body: Ostrich herl in the colors of light gray, olive, or cream.

Here's how you do it.

Start thread and make full hook shank wrap ending slightly behind the hook barb. Tie in strand of tinsel. Mount 1-3 ostrich herl fibers by their tips. Advance thread to hook eye. Wrap the herl forward with tight wraps and secure with thread wraps. Pull tinsel over and secure with thread wraps. Whip finish, glue, and go fish.

Strawberry Romanoff

Since strawberries is the focus of this week's blogpon and one of our daily specials, here is a recipe for a delightful and wonderful strawberry dessert. Reportedly this recipe is a favorite among the Russian culture.

Strawberry Romanoff

Strawberries Romanoff
(Makes 4-6 servings)

You will need:

2 pints fresh strawberries, rinsed, hulled, and sliced in half or quarters if large
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup orange flavored liqueur (Grand Marnier, Curacao, or Cointreau)
1 cup cold heavy (whipping) cream
1/2 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons sugar

Here's how you do it.


1. Place the sliced strawberries in a medium-size bowl and sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup Grand Marnier, Curacao, or Cointreau. Toss gently and let sit for about 30 minutes.
2. Add 3 tablespoons of sugar to the heavy cream and whip it until it forms soft peaks. Gently fold in the sour cream.
3. When ready to serve, spoon the berries into individual parfait glasses or glass bowls and top with the whipped cream mixture.
