Flashy, Durable, Deadly. This streamer has a great swimming action that pike cant resist. It kicks side to side on the retrieve, and hovers in place on the pause. Rear hook: B10S sz 1 Tail: Bucktail and Marabou Body: Flash brush Collar: Marabou Front Hook: B10S sz 2/0 Body: Flash brush and Marabou Collar: Deer Hair Head: Long fibered dubbing similar to monster dub Eyes: 10mm Silver 3D eye

Fly tying Bronze Goddess
zhlédnutí 3,4KPřed 7 lety
This fly was featured in a issue of Fly Tyer Magazine. Since the article came out, I've been playing with this pattern quite a bit. This fly is a smallmouth magnet. Depending on the way it is fished, it has the capability of mimicking many different prey items for the bass.

The Kraken's Head Pike Fly
zhlédnutí 2,5KPřed 7 lety
This fly has accounted for countless pike during its trials. The body extensions give the fly great movement in the water while the dense Kraken dub head causes the fly to swim in a erratic, side to side action. This action makes for some savage strikes from near by predators. Rear Extension: 1 inch fish joint Tail: Black Ostrich herl and Purple Starburst dub Collar: Purple Bucktail Middle Exte...
The Poser Pike Fly
zhlédnutí 11KPřed 7 lety
This fly was inspired by Gunnar Brammer's Impostor and All Spark. This fly relies on the body tubing to build up the bulk of the synthetic brush and help create the hollow fly effect. The compressed head gives the fly a side-to-side, jerk bait action; while the tear meander and the loon UV resin keep the eyes in place. Hook: Superior Angler 4/0 streamer (similar to Partridge Universal Predator ...
Pearl Necklace
zhlédnutí 855Před 7 lety
Designed by Kelly Galloup, this fly was meant to mimic the action of the crank baits that the spin fishers use. This version that I tie uses Starbrust dub in place of the Ice Dub Shimmer Fringe for the topping on the wing. Rear Hook: Eagle Claw Billy Pate sz 2 Body: Palmered white marabou Flash: Holo-Silver starburst dub Front Hook: Mustad 3366 sz 1/0 Body: Holo-Silver starburst dub Belly: Ligh...
Goldeye Gitt'er
zhlédnutí 727Před 7 lety
This fly was specifically designed to catch Goldeye on the Red River. Of all the flies that I used on that river, the Goldeye Gitt'er was always the most consistent. This bug has also accounted for perch, crappies, bluegills, suckers, and catfish. Hook: TMC 2499SPBL sz 8 Head: Brass bead Tail: 4 strands from a Crawdad colored bass skirt Body: Brown-ish K.R.A.P. dub Hackle: Grouse or brown color...

This is a simple streamer pattern designed to chase predators that frequently feed on smelt. Hook: Eagle Claw Billy Pate sz 2 Body: Silver Tinsel Twist Belly: Pink and Pearl Starburst dub Wing: Holo-Silver Starburst dub and Olive DNA Fusion Fiber Head: #5 Fish Mask
Dubbing brushes: Craft fur

This video is a quick "how to" on making EP style craft fur brushes. These brushes use congo hair for the core fiber, craft fur as the winging material, and includes some starburst dub to add some subtle flash.
Panfish Strymph
zhlédnutí 832Před 7 lety
The panfish strymph is my attempt at a all around panfish bug. It acts as a fry for crappies and as a general attractor for bluegills. Its also attractive to the predators that patrol the panfish spawning beds. Hook: Mustad R73-9671 sz 10 Bead: Gold brass bead head Tail: White Marabou Rib: Silver wire Body: Pearl H2O flash Thorax: UV Pearl ice dub Throat: White Marabou

    I love this idea and it will save me a lot of money plus you can also make your own form of laser dubbing as well they make that type of yarn with a form of flash fibers in it that would cat the same way as laser dubbing it is used for making baby blankets that people crochet for babies and you can get it in variegated colors as well it mite be a little thinner in diameter but it should work as well it is just a little lighter in the colors , and if you need a darker form of dubbing they have the camouflage yarn that can be used to make like a darker form of dubbing and wing to. Thank you for the idea and the day brush can be gotten at the dollar store and in some even some of the yarn. Again thank you very much and please keep up the good work.

    I picked up an assortment of carpet samples over the years (free). I trim some of the material from the carpet and toss them in a coffee bean grinder and Poof! in a couple of seconds ... instant dubbing. You can mix and match colors/materials.

    Red Heart brand yarn makes for a more vibrant dubbing. Some say Red Heart brand yarn is also trilobal.

    CZcams auto generated captions thinks you're making "crapper" brushes. I'm guess you could use them for that but seems like a lot of effort when a squirt of bleech would do the job just fine.
