That looks extremely fishy.
nice pattern, like! i need to try this for rudd and chub
Go for it 👍🎣🐟
Looks like a fishy fly that one Alec,have to tie up a few of them i think.
Definitely John, you will enjoy fishing them 👍 🎣🐟
Good morning Alec . Nice to see that you are catching well on the sedges I introduced you to and a lovely wee video to boot . I’ve never got into this video making malarkey but I see Steven Spielberg has a competitor 😉. You have done a good job brother and almost to the recipe . These have got to be my very best dry flies I have ever invented , ‘for want of a better word’. As you rightly said they catch fish all over the country and have worked well on the big Irish Loughs and over the pond in the States too . More or less I fish them from late spring when fish start feeding on the top right through to early winter . No need to wait to see rising fish as they bolt up anytime of day to grab them as you showed in the video at the beginning. I have a photo step by step illustration should anyone wish to have a go in addition to your video you have so kindly made . PS …. Just won a fly tying competition with this fly and won a ton of tying materials 🎣🎣🎣👌👌
Thanks David , since you showed me the fly a few months ago I have been out to my local lakes and had some action on it , the trout have been coming up smashing it off the surface, it's exciting when they are bow waving after the fly and the grab it , lovely way to fish. Hope to fish up with you in the next few weeks 🐕🎣🐟
Hi David, what a great pattern. I don't suppose you tie them commercially do you?
@@mikekennedy4549 I don’t tie for money Mike . If you can wait as not got a spare minute to myself as major house alterations keeping me busy right now . I can try and do you few or Alec is doing not a bad job of them maybe ask Alec .
@@mikekennedy4549 send me you fB link
Nicely tied alec it should work a ton tks 😊
It definitely does , get some tied up , you will love them 👍🎣🐟
Nice fly Alec.
Thanks Kevin 👍🎣🐟
Great pattern Alec 👍
Cheers , since David gave me the pattern , a couple of months ago had some nice short sessions fishing with it , the fish hit it hard , great fun 👍🎣🐟
Nice fly, I like the Semperfly products
Cheers , they definitely have some very nice materials 👍🎣🐟🐟
Nice jig nymph Alec. 🍻 cheers!
Cheers Joe 👍🎣🐟
Nice fly, no problem with sound or accent. I have to say I rather like that the camera is a little further away. I get a better sense of the scale, and so size, of the fly. Anyway, greetings from the very south west of Canada. Tight lines!
Thanks Wayne , that's much appreciated, it can be hard to get the scale of the fly from videos, my NOTHING dry fly is small , size 18/20 but people still tie it too big . I always try to show the hook type and size as I tie the flies, I hope that helps . Many thanks for watching the videos 👍🎣🐟
Nice jig fly named frenchie....................
Many thanks 👍🎣🐟
Looks like a river nymph. So do you never fish rivers?
I mainly fish lakes / lochs, but the trout love small nymphs throughout the year , especially if the water has had a lot of angler pressure 👍🎣🐟
@@alecharveyfishingandflytying Are there any videos of you catching wild trout from wild waters be they river or mountain lake? Would be good to see. My preference is for these type of places, although I do sometimes enjoy stocked fisheries and naturalized stocked rainbows can be just as challenging as wild trout
Nice fly. Sadly, the audio sounds like someone mumbling to themselves.
Are you watching it on the TV??
Sounds fine to me
Nowt wrong with the sound.
Sounds good to me👍
You must be poking fun at his accent, as it's very clear.
Ffks stop stroking the rail
Such a nice tie and fly thank you
Thank you, that's much appreciated 👍🎣🐟
Well Alec, watched this video last night and was out fishing today. Tied up 4 nymphs with the black version of the synthetic peacock hearl with a black bead... didn't have the exact copy of yours. But this fly saved my day!! I only caught 3 fish and all 3 were on this nymph! My twin brother only caught 1 fish so thanks to you I have bragging rights till next time we fish. Cheers for the inspiration mate, also catching lots on the nothing fly recently!!
That's brilliant 👏, it's great when I get feedback from guys fishing the flies and catching well, I have had many anglers recently telling me they are catching great off the top on the NOTHING fly . Enjoy your fishing, 👍🎣🐟
Nice, simple pattern Alec. I have tied a pattern very simular to this one and used it on a double nymph rig on the Telico river in east tennessee (USA) and it has done extremely well. And your right...seems like it is most effective in still water such as eddies and current seams. Thanks for sharing. By the way, I have subscibed.
Your subscription is very much appreciated Alex, thank you for your comments 👍🎣🐟
Simple zugbug/ prince hybrid. Thanks!
Cheers 👍🎣🐟
Awesome tip 😀👍
Cheers 👍🎣🐟
Alex, have you ever heard of a beechwood creeper. Chap i give flies to says it was best fly hes ever had but he cant really tell me what it was.
I haven't Robert , fulling mill have creeper patterns , take a look at them . Cheers Alec 🎣 🐟
Nice simple pattern to copy - can I ask where you would use this Alec - euro nymphing?
I use them on still water lakes for trout, but you definitely could use them on rivers if that's your type of fishing. 👍🎣🐟
I would use it Euro nymphing
Can we see a close up of the mini neon daddy and tell us where to buy some?
Check out the tying video on my CZcams channel, you will see it tied close up , it's the one with the thumbnail , why dies this Neon fly catch so many fish .👍🎣🐟
Recipe? Please!!! Tight lines🐜🕷️🐛
Check my CZcams channel, Alec harvey fishing and fly tying, the long version of the NOTHING fly and NOTHING BUTT flies are on there, also video's of me fishing the flies . Enjoy Robert 👍 🎣 🐟
Hi Alex, great video thanks. Do you prefer unweighted snakes on sinking lines? Also, what about shorter 5cm snakes v the longer ones? Also do you ever bother with droppers?
I have both unweighted and weighted, the unweighted ones allows you to fish them slowly on sinking lines, which at times produces more fish. Smaller snakes tend to get you more hook up 👍🎣🐟
Alex, any idea where you can buy ox blood flexi floss? Can find red and claret but not ox lood..
Sports and leisure at Blyth , speak to Jim Tuck🎣🐟.
Alex, what rod are you using? Thanks/
Morning Bob, I use Greys, gr60 8wt, gr70 7wt, and a Greys kite 7wt.👍🎣🐟
Blanked again today. Thinking of using 🧨. 😊 Cheers for video.
Don't worry , everyone blanks sometimes, those that don't must not fish a lot 👍🎣🐟
@@alecharveyfishingandflytying true fella 👍
I've fished hass a few times when Cecil had it and the best fly I found was the copper buzzer..I went last year and gave a copper buzzer to the fella next to me and he pulled out a cracking brownie..
It's good fishing at Loch Hass, and it's great that you can catch using many methods depending on the weather conditions, lovely hard fighting fish 👍🎣🐟
You get around Alec 😂 what a beautiful spot too. Thanks so much for your vids pal I look forward to every one . Plenty tips and information on all your vids. 👌👌👌👌
Thanks James , it's always nice when your out fishing "Born to fish " 👍🎣🐟
Hi Alec, really enjoyed the video. It’s been over 25 years since I last fished there. The bottom lake was just being excavated at the time. I fancy giving it a go sometime and was wondering if you could let me know what are the tickets prices and the rules for catch and release? Cheers, Sam
Thanks Sam , there are day and evening sessions available , both are £15 each .👍🎣🐟
Alec what leader do u use?
I use 6lb X-line for pulling and 6lb soft plus for dries .👍🎣🐟
@@alecharveyfishingandflytying mr arbel is always trying to get me to switch over to x-line lol been using 6/8lb ghost last few sessions doesnt seem to want to sink!! Love the channel keep it up
A great video again thay have done a great job on top Loch taking all the weed out and been able to fish all around some good spot to be had
Cheers John 👍🎣🐟
Glad you guys had a good day guys … They are lovely lochs in a beautiful location. It’s a super dry fly water most times regardless of weather . It’s fairly local to me and I have had tons of great days there . Both lochs fish equally as well. Hope I bump into you next time you are over . Nice wee video Alec , many thanks for sharing .
Much appreciated 👍, we will no doubt be back up soon 🎣🐟
Well done Alec!…enjoyed the video ( you make it look so easy …thanks for posting.🎣🎣👍
Many thanks 👍🎣🐟
Come on Alec, you’re in Scotland, it’s a loch. 😂
🤣🤣🤣 I am just a daft geordie man .🤣🤣
@@alecharveyfishingandflytying No such thing Alec! Thanks for sharing through your videos. I’m in Newcastle in September. Can you recommend any fishing lakes?
@@jamesmoore4782 Sweethope.
Excellent video Alec, well done to you and Colin. Great to see you nailing them off the top, can't beat it when they're on. I haven't been to hass definitely will now though, looks a nice place as well as decent fishing.
Thank you . Off the top is my favourite fishing, but the fish tell you what they want 👍🎣🐟
Alec I’m giving you the nickname ‘cormorant’ your always catching tons a fish.All the very best 👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴
Cheers , it's a lot better than what most people call me 🤣🤣🎣🐟
I love watching to learn to tye new flies
Cheers , much appreciated 👍 🎣 🐟
Hi Alec enjoyed tying this fly i am quite a novice but found it relatively easy even for me, two things how would you fish it, and what length is the tail of the fly thank you.
Hi Roland , the fly is easy to tie and catches lots of trout , the tail is just a few mm long as I tie them on size 20 and 18 carp hooks . You can fish them casting to rising fish or drift them across the surface, and the fish will come up blind and take them . You can also slowly figure of eight them just subsurface and the fish will readily take them. Check my fishing videos using them, and you will see me using them and catching fish.👍🎣🐟
San Juan worm...
It's squirmy , not chenille 🎣🐟
thanks a stack for the top tip Alec!! I've tried using heavy nylon to try keep the weight down, works well enough for me
No problem 👍🎣🐟
Hi Alec, could you explain why you put the sticky side out on the cheeks.
When you first tie on the cheez on , the sticky side is on the outside but when you fold it forwards towards the eye, it's then on the inside when you tie it off at the eye end 👍🎣🐟
Hi Alec , Thank you….another great pattern.. How would you fish this fly….. Stripping it/ fast figure of eight or long slow pulls? Keep the video’s coming Thank you…🤙🤙🤙
Cheers Harry , floating line , get the fly to make a disturbance on the surface by sort sharp pulls them stop for a few seconds and start again , then get ready for a fish to smash it , great fun way to fish , tight lines 🎣🐟
@@alecharveyfishingandflytying Many thanks Alec. Sounds a very exciting Way to fish. I shall certainly be tying some and giving it a go... Thank you for all your Video's 👍👍👍
Tyed some off these flys fished for couple of hours 10th june had 8 fish cracking fly alec thanks barry
That's great Barry , as I say in the video they catch on all waters , thanks for the feedback 👍 🎣🐟
Great looking fly m8. Could you use cdc instead of the aerowing material?
You could try it , the fish will always let you know if it works , the areo wing is a definite proven fish catcher.🎣🐟
Waters holding our native fish, the brown trout, shouldn't be stocked with rainbows. We should be protecting and preserving our wild fish.
The browns and rainbows have been together in sweethope for many years now, and both types are in great condition. 🎣🐟
5000 well done alec
Thanks William 👍🎣🐟
Instead of thorax could you use white dots for wing buds ps top hats are deadly thanks
There is no right way or wrong way in fly tying , go with your ideas then the fish let you know if they work or not , some do and some don't, that's the fun in fly tying 👍🎣🐟
Another great episode Alec, enjoyed it. Arthur.
Cheers Arthur 👍 🎣 🐟
Tied some of these up last night, took them out today and caught straight away alongside the nothing fly and the top hats. Your patterns/explanations are great Alec and really help people catch fish. Thankyou
That's great Jonny , it's definitely the time of year when you will catch on all them flies , keep up the good work 👍🎣🐟
