Tying a Rusty Spinner Fishing Fly
zhlédnutí 57Před dnem
Two challenges are often cited when it comes to fishing and tying spinners. First, spinners are difficult to see on the water. Second, spinner bodies are quite slim. This pattern attempts to address both of those challenges. To improve visibility, palmer 2-3 turns of hackle through the thorax and then trim the bottom hackle flush with the thorax. This also works well for tricos. To create a sli...
Tying the GFA (Micro) Hopper Fishing Fly

Later in the season fish can be just as willing to take a hopper as they are in July or August, but a smaller fly just might turn more heads. This pattern is simple to tie; more importantly, it looks great down to a size 16 or 18. It floats well and can be tied in countless color variations. • Hook: R18-B Barbless 2x Strong, size 12 - 16. www.discountflies.com/product/M-GAMAR182X.html • Thread:...
Tying a Stubby Chubby Yellow Sally Fishing Fly

The evolution of the Chernobyl started with the addition of poly wings (the Chubby Chernobyl), then continued with increasing the size, adding more foam (the Double Chubby), and now going smaller. The Stubby Chubby is fun to fish. It is great trailed behind a bigger Chernobyl. Or, it can be tied to imitate smaller insects. The Yellow Sally is an example. The Stubby is still buoyant enough to su...

Tying an Extended Foam Body Green Drake Fishing Fly
zhlédnutí 229Před 21 dnem
Green Drakes are big. Fortunately for us, trout key on them heavily during the summer. This makes for some fun fishing, typically in the evenings at dusk. The natural mayflies are large, graceful insects and the flies that imitate these bugs do not disappoint. This Furmisky inspired dry is one of our favorite flies for this hatch because it floats well, it can support a modest dropper, and it i...
Tying a Jiggy Soft Hackle CDC Green Drake Nymph Fishing Fly
zhlédnutí 830Před 21 dnem
The Green Drake Hatch where we live is a hatch that is marked on many calendars. While fish regularly take big duns, an emerger like a soft hackle fished as a dropper an hour or so before the main event is a good idea. It is also a good idea to fish this through the hatch, especially later in the season. Let it swing out on occasionally at the bottom of your drift… • Hook: Jig Hook, sizes 10-14...

The Yellow Sally hatch is both prolific and drawn out. Yet, we often overlook it because of the other excitement happening simultaneously….bugs like PMDs, Drakes, Golden Stones, and Caddis.

The Chubby Chernobyl is one of today’s most popular flies. The newest iteration, the DOUBLE chubby, incorporates several improvements: • Two layers of foam.

The whole thrust of the DOUBLE is to increase floatability, whether that be through riffles or suspending a heavier droppe...

Improved Madam X Foam Salmonfly Fishing Fly
zhlédnutí 1,2KPřed 2 měsíci
The Madam X has been around for a long time. The challenge with this fly is that it can take constant effort to keep it afloat. To solve this, the Parachute Madam X (PMX) adds some hackle along the body and adds a parachute. This is one path of fly design…tweak and existing pattern to solve a specific problem or adapt it to a specific region. This is evolutionary and this is how a lot of fly de...

Very nice!
TY! Fun to tie!
Thank you for sharing. I've yet to tie a dragonfly pattern, but plan to soon.
Wow nice one.
Thanks you!
Very groovy. ✌🎶🎣
Thanks ✌️
Nice bug thanks
Nice one thanks
Bro that looks sick!!!
Such a great fly! Stalcup says that it doesn't matter how (dead drift, swing, sinking line, dropper) or where (river, stream, lake, alpine pond), this was his most productive.
Jeez....I've been tying this fly for 2 years, and just watching you I realized that I'm doing it very slow! Never thought of putting the wire in a bobbin...
The only trouble we have with the bobbin is if we start with too much wire out of the tip. This causes a lot of turn on the wire at the tip and it can break (just like helicoptering it off when tying other patterns). So, we keep the wire moving through the bobbin.
@discountfliesflyshop1898 excellent tip! Thanks. Do you have a bobbin type and brand you recommend? I have a couple of old steel bobbins that cut thread. Would those work?
Yes, this is exactly what I use.
Siu
What glue do you to glue the two pieces of foam together?
We like Loctite spray adhesive (www.loctiteproducts.com/en/products/specialty-products/spray-adhesive.html), but think any spray adhesive would work. We let it sit with something heavy on top of it overnight.
Nice one
Thank you!
I like the synthetic peacock herl. Makes a neat body and easy to use. Thanks for showcasing it!
Glad you like it!
I’d just use fine cut ice dub. Much easier. Polish quill cdc is garbage cdc too. 😂
That's interesting...we would guess most folks would find wrapping chenille much easier and quicker than dubbing a noodle of ice dub. Thanks for sharing. Btw, what is your favorite CDC? We've used many and are always looking for high quality stuff.
That is pretty sweet
Andy will say it’s not the same for sure!! Oh and he will throw a fit about the bead, he hates the dredging!!! Lol
Haha -- no one can make it the same! I believe Mr Chung also believes that most (all?) RS2s aren't the same, or even close! Maybe that is actually the brilliance of these designs by great fly designers....even poor imitations are wildly productive!
Nice
Really like this!
TY!
Hey, I just caught this, nice work and thank you for the kind words! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! Hope 2024 is a year of health, happiness, and adventure for you and yours.
Look , he tied a clouser minnow , that's really special !
Lighter trick works great
Yeah, we like it.
I love this fly! I fished various colors and materials on a size 18-20 last winter. It, along with a sowbug of some kind, were my best producers... but an honorable mention needs to go to the jig style rainbow warriors! (Black dubbing worked best)
Black dubbing sounds interesting...like it.
Love it. Going to spin up a few and see how they do. Maybe in different colors
We've had success with Olive...
that looks great. thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Really cool fly. Couldn't help but think (jokingly), "What should we put on this fly?" "Yes." LOL
Ha! Yes, I'm sure a fly with the eyes, tail, and body would catch plenty! We should a test...always up for field testing!
Nicely tied pattern. Beautifully done! 🧐🌲👍
Thank you!
Please put up a material list !!,
The recipe and materials list (with links) is in the description. You might have to click "READ MORE." If you can't see it there, check out our blog: www.discountflies.com/blog/tying-the-hopedale-crab-fishing-fly/
Materials list?
Updated in the description! Great fly and fun to tie.
@@discountfliesflyshop1898 Awesome! Thank you!
Great video! Have a question if you don't mind, what would be a good substitute for the Hare's Mask?
For a natural substitute, squirrel or rabbit dubbing (www.discountflies.com/product/M-CCRABB.html) in natural gray would both work well. For a synthetic substitute, the following would work: Raven and Wolf EBT Dubbing in Hare's Ear or Dark Hare's ear: www.discountflies.com/product/M-RWEBT.html. SemperFli Sparkle Dub in Gray: www.discountflies.com/product/M-SSDUB.html Arizona Synthetic Dubbing in Hare's Ear.
Love the Spanish music with the Perdigon. Nice tie!
Простая и ловть будет

Love that one!!! Great job on the legs!!
Thank you!! It is a great technique...not ours, but sure glad we learned it!

Nicely done! Fantastic color combination.
Thank you very much!
Muy buena !! and music ??
Gracias. Thelonious Monk
@@discountfliesflyshop1898 ... Thank you very much !!
Nice! I like to tie my Clousers sparse as well - better for fishing them as skulpin or darter imitations right on the bottom. Add a some copper wire for weight, a bit of mottling with a sharpie and this tie would look and fish like a Johnny Darter.
I haven't tried a sharpie on the Faux Bucktail -- great idea. I'll see if it works! Thx for the rec.
@@discountfliesflyshop1898 Please let me know how the sharpie works on the faux bucktail. It works fine on natural bucktail if you wipe the area with alcohol first as some bucktail (especially undyed ones) can be a bit oily.
№16 good fly for roach
Is there a materials list?
Hook: Jig Hook, sizes 14 - 20 (www.discountflies.com/product/M-KBJH.html) Bead: slotted tungsten; use a bright color for hotspot if desired (www.discountflies.com/SRCH.html?Search=Firehole+Stones ) Thread: White, 18/0 Nano Silk (www.discountflies.com/product/M-SNS18.html ) Hot Spot: Fluoro Brite (www.discountflies.com/product/M-SFLB.html ) Tail: CDL or Pheasant Patch Fibers (www.discountflies.com/product/M-CCPHP.html ) Body: Micro Body Tubing, Olive or Golden Olive (www.discountflies.com/product/M-CCUL.html ) Thorax: Peacock Dubbing: www.discountflies.com/SRCH.html?Search=ice+dub or www.discountflies.com/product/M-RWSPD.html

Alternatives: Brown Soft Hackle, Partridge, or CDC Collar Dub: Orange or Shrimp Pink Ice Dub
Sweet
That's gotta have great movement!
That looks disgustingly good 👍🏻
I'd eat it...
I'm always looking for a new way to use tubing and I'm impressed with this fly so I'm going to tie some for myself 👍🏻
We've had great success with the France Fly and the 2.0. On another note, if you don't already have it, Phil Camera's book "Fly Tying With Synthetics: Patterns & Techniques" has great patterns that using tubing (www.amazon.com/Fly-Tying-Synthetics-Patterns-Techniques/dp/0896581748). Phil was the founder of the original Larva Lace! We caught a lot of fish on his fly called the "Heaten."
@DiscountFlies Fly Shop I don't have his book ,I'll find it. I'm 56 and have been fly fishing from 12, I started tying in my mid 20s and there's nothing like catching fish on the fly you tied. I had a stroke a few months ago and I have tied 1 fly but I'm going to try a few this weekend. Good luck out there.
Do you know of Andrew Grillos? He's the creator of the Hippie Stomper, '64 Impala, and numerous other flies. He's a genius with foam. He had a stroke several years ago. Part of his recovery was tying flies. He put a lot of it out there on Instagram...everything from the frustrations to the wins. I can't image. I have a lot of respect for that vulnerability and can't imagine what it is like to go through something like that. We will be sending lots of positive thoughts your way for a speedy recovery.
@DiscountFlies Fly Shop no I haven't heard of him but I'm sure I can find him too
It's Bob, I tie a version of this fly all the way down to a size 20. I use starling instead of ostrich and it is an awesome fly for my tail waters in Arkansas. Thank you for your content and love of fly fishing.
Down to 20?!? That's awesome. Why Starling? Is it better for smaller sizes or is there something else about it that you like?
@DiscountFlies Fly Shop it's the small size is why I use starling. It's great for hackle on various small flies. Like any rooster cape, the best feathers are on the neck but the rest of it has uses too. It was only $15 and that surprised me.
What is the model of the hook you used. Very cool.
It is a Firehole 520. It is a continuous bend jig hook. Very cool hook. We hope to start selling them soon. In the meantime, avidmax.com has them in stock. They're a great company.
What is the list of materials for this fly?
I will also update the description: Hook: Kona BJH (Jig Hook) Bead: 2.3 - 3 mm slotted tungsten bead Tail: CDL or stiff tailing fibers in Dun Gills: Grey Ostrich Herl (or color to match body) Body: Micro Tubing (shown in Olive Brown) Thorax: Peacock Ice Dubbing Soft Hackle: Natural CDC
Nice one
TY @oldsugglerflyfishing. We like this technique and it has been dynamite on the BWO versions that we've fished in rivers this spring. We are also curious to try it on a callibaetis or damsel pattern for stillwater.
