Fly Tying Tutorials by Matt Zudweg: December 2011
http://mattzudweg.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 15, 2011. The new BYFG boat? I wish this was my boat. but it actually belongs to a couple that are fond of my logo and asked if I could design the new logo for their transom using our logo fish. Don't try this at home. Posted by Matt Zudweg. Monday, December 5, 2011. A chapter ends, a new one begins. With the massive run of salmon this fall, there should be huge amounts of salmon parr to fatten up the trout in spring. I expect the trout fishing next summer to be awesome!

Fly Tying Tutorials by Matt Zudweg: September 2013
http://mattzudweg.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 10, 2013. This summer has been great for catching bass on a white streamer! Most summers I tend to favor yellow, but not lately. the bass of late seem very keyed in on white. I've been working the kinks out of this streamer a little at a time and finally have it the way the bass like it best. It has been outfishing every sub-surface fly in my box recently. Wind the rabbit strip forward around the hook (fluffing it as you go) and tie off, still leaving enough room for the deer hair head...

Fly Tying Tutorials by Matt Zudweg: August 2010
http://mattzudweg.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 23, 2010. Purchase some soft foam floor panels. I usually find them at Home Depot, etc. They're made for kid's rooms, they're inexpensive, and one 2'x2' panel will tie hundreds of poppers! Using a razor blade, trim the top of the body to a downward taper as shown. Using a good size bodkin, poke a hole near the bottom of the body, from front center to rear center. Secure a marabou feather on top of the hook. Color of your choice. Apply a generous amount of Zap a Gap CA glue to the thread an...

Fly Tying Tutorials by Matt Zudweg: May 2012
http://mattzudweg.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 3, 2012. A few years ago, a fellow guide and I both had the day off and decided to go after big brown trout on streamers. It was mid May and the water temp was about 60. It was also a little high and dirty. perfect! I decided to try a new streamer/crayfish pattern I had tied up the night before and within just a few casts we were on fish like CRAZY. but they weren't trout, they were smallmouth bass. fine with me, I love smallies! Advance thread to front of hook, just behind the bead chain&#...

Fly Tying Tutorials by Matt Zudweg: "Zudbubbler" Bass Popper
http://mattzudweg.blogspot.com/2014/06/zudbubbler-bass-popper.html
Tuesday, June 17, 2014. Feel free to email me with your comments or questions at matt@mattzudweg.com. The supplies above are my favorites for tying the Zudbubbler. If you don't have a Zuddy's Leg Puller you can use a bodkin and thread puller. it just takes longer. Green, Chartreuse, Yellow and Black are my favorite ZB body colors, but I have caught numerous bass on every other color offered as well. Don't use gel spun thread for this fly as glue will not hold to it as well). Step 7: Palmer the schlappen ...

Fly Tying Tutorials by Matt Zudweg: Darth Hopper - Bass version
http://mattzudweg.blogspot.com/2015/02/darth-hopper-bass-version.html
Friday, February 6, 2015. Darth Hopper - Bass version. After the initial plop on the water, it's pretty quiet and subtle. kinda of sneaky, like a slider. It's especially good when the water temp isn't quite warm enough for the real aggressive popper bite, but you still have your heart set on bringing them to the surface. Once it lands, work it similar to how you would work a popper, twitch/pause. twitch/pause. My favorite colors for Ice Dub are Olive and Peacock Black. On the Fly Gear page. Step 5: Place...

Fly Tying Tutorials by Matt Zudweg: February 2010

Saturday, February 27, 2010. If you have been Steelhead fishing for anytime at all, you know how effective a Hex nymph can be, especially a Jointed or "Wiggle" Hex. The problem is, they can be time consuming to tie and thus, a heart breaker when you lose them to a snag. "Zudweg's EZPZ Wiggler" is a super simple jointed hex that is quick to tie, quite realistic and steelhead find it irresistible. Wind the Marabou Feather to the front and tie off just behind the eye. Whip finish. Marry two Grizzly Marabou ...
