Tying The Peanut Envy with Kelly Galloup

- In this video, Kelly will walk you through the steps for tying one of his most successful streamers of all time: The Peanut Envy
The Peanut Envy is Kelly’s tribute to one of the most successful articulated streamer patterns of all time- Russ Madden’s Circus Peanut. He replaced the Estaz body of the original peanut with ice dubbing, and substituted a conehead for lead eyes as the head, still giving it that diving motion that Russ’ pattern is so famous for. An additional tuft of marabou behind the head of both hooks helps it maintain a little deeper profile, and it has been been a staple in all of our streamer boxes for almost ten years.

Someone needs to make a shirt with Kelly’s face saying “I wanna show you something.”
I like the way it looks I'll be tying up some thanks Kelly
I am from northern BC, I tie this in size 2 and 4 with plain streamer hooks with a bead head instead of a cone. Every fish in the hole will eat this small articulated fly. Grayling rainbow and had a 7lb bull trout in it this year. I fish it on a sink tip and swing it and small strips to the tip. Unreal fly tied in olive.
Another Great fly tutorial. I know this will be a real fish catcher! Thanks Kelly for all you do.
Fantastic lesson... I learned a lot on material selection, placement locking down the legs, tapering the body in the dubbing loop.
Can't wait to get this one tied up properly, thanks tons for all intructions Kelly and crew!
Smashing pattern and another great video guys. I’ve picked up so many great tips from watching this channel. Hands down one of the best
Appreciate the Positive feedback my friend and we've got some more videos heading your way in the weeks to come.
I'm pausing this video and going to my tying room. This is good stuff.
You'd think I've just been sitting here all day waiting for this..... LOVE these videos!
Glad you're digging the videos and thanks for the support
Watching you tie Kelly it’s like having a hot stew for dinner after a hard day of work outside. And I’m telling you it’s pretty cold outside right know. Peanut Envy that’s a good choice so far that I’m concern. Even for big speckle trout. Always good to hear materials informations to. Thanks again !!
Thank you!
My all time favorite streamer. Thanks a million Kelly!
Glad you dig the envy -- KG
Apparently I’m late to the show. Better late than never. Great tie! Already whipped one up. Can’t wait to give it a whirl.
Thanks for passing along the expertise.

I don't know how many times over the years that a dubbing loop slips out of the tool while winding it on a hook, nice to know that I am not the only one! I got to tie some up. thou on my home waters, here in the Northeast, I tend to fish smaller flies, while there are some big trout around, most of our fish are in the 8- 18 inch range with 18 considered to be a big fish.
Thanks for sharing the wisdom and tricks at the vise, great ty.
this one i will try to tie! Beautiful!
really helpful video thanks guys
WOW it's been long time. I hlt a vice nice flythanks
Awesome Kelly (and Jeremy)! I have watched your videos for years, but never asked myself why you didn’t tie your good junk earlier. I really appreciate the time and effort you have put into this year- I have learned a lot. I look forward to my annual trip this summer to see the results of your remodel this year; if I have pictured it right in my head, you worked your ass off!
Thanks Rich! Looking forward to seeing you back out here.
Thanks Rich, look forward to seeing you this summer
Nice Tie Kelly... of coarse! I've notice most commercial versions tied seem to be over dressed. I too like mine sparse. We don't have the leeches or forage fish in New Zealand like you have, but this fly still gets the job done for me. I Love it in a Brown/ Orange version I tie. Also for Q & A- maybe streamer flyboxes? Your fav, pro's and cons? All the best. Cheers.
tied this in brown and tan i fish back water in eastern NC water like tea have caught striper weak and the big surprise killing the flounder thank u for a great fly
Anyway, your show is great, thanks.
One of the best streamer patterns there is for trout and bass in Michigan.
who is this Johnny? I want to hear the full story of the Legend that is 'goofy Leg Johnny!"
You know your talking about those minners popping all over the surface and I get a piece of memory of a day fishing the outflow of the hydro electric site on the Paulinskill river in NJ. The inside pool was covered with a swarm of tiny black caddis hovering about 3 to 4” above the water. Very uncannily maintaining a uniform 4” thick mat. All the while a school of smallies hammering them. Frustrating part of it I couldn’t get a second look at all the stuff I was offering. Just the kind of thing you don’t want to tell anyone about. Then there was the time my son and I saw a 36” lm in a pond in North Jersey. But I ain’t going there for now.
Sorry for askin' what might be a couple dumb questions..but here goes:
Having been an avid tier for years, and now returning to it after a long break in the action...I'd like to know when rubber/silicone leg material began being used in this way on streamer flies. Did Kelly popularize this? Do these strands have a tendency to foul around the hook(s)? If not, is this most likely due to the palmered hackle? Thanks in advance for splainin'.
I will be tying this soon for sure! I am just getting into tying, so I have a question: What is the functional difference between a dubbing body and a chenille body?
I find that chenille bodies are more bulky and rigid and that dubbed bodies can be customized to your preference depending on the type of dubbing used and the density of material. Chenille bodies can be useful for keeping stacks of other materials posted so that they don’t collapse and maintain a profile, whereas dubbing bodies are useful for creating a more blended effect. If you get into dubbing loops there are really endless possibilities as you can even get into dubbing brush territory where you’re mixing materials and customizing tapers.
I've only used hooks that big twice for trout. Both times, I impaled the eye from inside the mouth. They are way too big for the little trout we have in the East.
Only one solution: ROAD TRIP!
Where to get the tubes? From your Christmas stocking--the candycane shaped tube full of chocolate candy!
I have the same issue with massive hooks on my local trout. I tend to scale these down to the 4 and even 6 range with good results. For the front end I’ll get a batch of cheap steamer hooks and cut the whole bend off once they are tied so I end up with a single hook articulated pattern in the 3” range and they work like gangbusters. I just have to keep an eye on material length and densities so as to not overdress and overbulk the smaller size hooks
Great video as always. Going to tie a few up to go with the Game Changers I just tied. One question, where I live in BC we can only use one hook so I will be cutting one hook off at the bend. How would this affect the hook sizing and which one would you recommend I cut off for this pattern? Cheers
Mike, Thanks. I always cut the back hook off and don't see any change in the action. Fish attack the head to stun/kill the prey so with the front there you will be fine.Kelly
@@TheSlideinn Thanks Kelly
I keep the culls to use on damsel flies and other lake patterns. hate to waste material.
What’s the difference between this and the double screamer? I cannot find a tutorial video for a double screamer.
“Just for... [pause] ... giggles”. 😂
lol=tight lines!
Kelly, what kind of c-clamp do you use to hold your vise? It seems that it extends out from the table, which gives you a direct over the eye view of the fly your tying.
It is not a C clamp it is one i had made the goes under the table and is screwed n permenant, thanks for watching. KG
great tutorial guys ,what would be the total length of the streamer be about.?
Garry Sneddon the one I bought from them was about 4 inches long
Would love to see a fly tying video of the heisenberg
I don’t understand how you tie off the wire without capturing it with the thread
Perfect! So now I am only missing the recipe´s for the other color variants. As we say in Norway "Much want more" (some might be lost in translation :-) But maybe that is a lot of work....
All the Peanut Envy tying kits are located here with all the colors available.

Curious - what is the spring/strap thing on your vise? Also, you say "don't put this in your mouth" about a lot of things - but it looks like that is exactly what you do - even the wirer and bead, noy just the maribou… I don't see you if you even have a wet sponge on your bench.
Know any cheap but good rotarary vice u recommend brotha. Wish I could afford the good one but want one. Also with a stand please
I have envy for the envy.
The brown and tan is made for the upper Manistee, chestnut lamprey money
What size bead
Love your work and style. Do you know about George Constanza’s fiancé ?
Kelly do you tie different sizes of this pattern
Greg,
Yes we do and we have a mini peanut envy series available on our online store. You can certainly tie it much larger as well. Thanks for watching
I really like how the name is a play on the phrase "penis envy," a feeling I am very familiar with.
Can this outperform a wolly-bugger?
What kind of bobbin is this ?
That is the Rite Mag Bobbin: www.slideinn.com/product/rite-mag-bobbin/
Tyler, it is a Rite magnum. Kelly
Thanks!!!
Kelly Galloup what colors are ideal for this pattern? I tied olive and black patterns thus far.
