A few flies from the vise and the Micro Magic Tool
I've been tying a lot lately and I wanted to share a few images with you guys. One item that I recently purchased is the Mirco Magic Tool by Marc Petijean. If you tie small flies using CDC as well as small soft hackles, this is the tool you need. I have only played around with it for a few days, but with that, I can say that it is well with it. All the soft hackle images below are tied with this tool. I have been using some Brahma Hen hackles as well as Coq De Leon Saddle Hackle for these soft hackles. These feathers are too long for small soft hackles, but with the tool, it makes it easy to get the right size. I'll have to do a video on how it works.
For now, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New year.
Fist of all, Hoppy Holidays!!!!

Morrish's Iron Sally Tying Video
Morrish's Iron Sally from Juan Ramirez-Hopper Juan on Vimeo.
The Iron Sally is an awesome stone pattern for both the small Yellow Sallies as well as the smaller sized Golden Stones. I like this pattern because of the thin profile and the weight of the pattern. Tied with a tungsten bead, it will dive down to where the fish are in faster water. It's an easy pattern to tie and only requires a few materials. Take a look.

Rogue Foam Golden Stone Fly
Rogue Foam Golden Stone Fly from Juan Ramirez-Hopper Juan on Vimeo.
When summer rolls around, make sure you have a few of these tucked away in your box. These are great for imitating the golden stones as well as the hoppers. They work well as a hopper pattern too. If you are smart, you will have a few markers in your vest or pack to color these up as needed to match the stones or hoppers.
