After a weekend on the North Umpqua, I’ve become really intrigued with the surface game. Any tips would be appreciated.

If you are looking for a tutorial I think Davie McPhail’s is pretty good. There are lots of others on YouTube.

Great!
Spinning up nice bombers is WORK.
Super tying!

It definitely took a few attempts to get in the groove. Let’s just say the first ones were a bit “rustic” 😂

Good work! You can also try different variations, like double wing up front with hackle. Lots of possibilities....

I hate fishing Bombers... 😢 but sometimes, it's all that will work!

Some inspiring work from your vise. Very nice Bombers

The rare times I tie bombers, I always keep a razor blade handy. First to shape the body, then to cut the first 4-5 back apart.

Really good stuff man! I would tie a few with chartruese butt deer hair, then natural deer hair the rest of the way. Finished with a burnt orange hackle and white wing and tail. Those seem to always work

Do you all fish them with any special knots for the swing?
