Tim I go back to This Pattern every May. I tie a Bunch of them prior to my June Trips to Roscoe NY. My most Productive Pattern while up there. My only difference is I use The Pheasant tail as a Shell back and then The wing case with fine copper wire securing the Body section. I was given by one of my mentors back in the 1970's a CLARET Blend of Fur Dubbing with absolute is PERFECTION. On a side note if you never saw a Nymph swim You should. They swim as well as a Tadpole. Fish them accordingly like You would fish a streamer.
First encountered an iso hatch on the Hiwassee river in Tennessee and was amazed. Split cased iso's in the same size tied with awesome possum dubbing for the body works great, too.
hackle pliers for lead....another amazing tip.
Love this pattern! Be a killer on trout this spring!
Nice pattern. I have always used a single strand of brown floss for the segmentation on the abdomen, but I like the wire better. I also include single strand of white floss up the back of the abdomen before I wrapped the (now) wire.
Many tiers add the white stripe which looks nice and adds a bit more realism but a few years ago, I got lazy and stopped adding one myself. Really can't notice any difference in fish caught. The biggest difference comes from fishing it with a lot of motion. No long strips, just tiny little hops, works like a charm.
nice sound effects
great vid how about something from the wulff series maybe the ausable or the white wulff .
are there better hackle pliers the ones I have bought from cabelas and field and stream and amazon suck. They break soooo easy. my local fly shop wont carry them they only carry the normal pinching hackle pliers.
Great video. What is your camera setup?
I have noticed that the majority of Iso nymph and dry patterns are tied in size 16. Here in the N. Great Lakes we see hatches of Iso's in size 18. With the dries that I have tied I have just downsized the hook to an 18 to match our hatches and this has worked great. Would I downsize my hook for this nymph to a size 18 as well? Is the nymph properly represented on the same size hook as the dry?
+Jonny Bednarick Great question. From the stream sampling I've done here in NJ and PA I've found Iso nymphs in sizes ranging from about a 22 all the way up to at least a 10. Huge variation.
Another great video, what is the color of the rabbit dubbing and the hare ear dubbing you used to get the dark maroon?
Rusty brown, black, red (very little).
tightlinevideo All rabbit or did you put some hare ear?
MrSlybin A blend of the two. Very similar to what was done in the custom dubbing video.
Can I use a larger bead? 3/16"
This is a dynamite pattern in the Tennessee summer
What have you caught on it so far?
David Richardson Rainbows and browns
@@RustyShacklefardd I'm envious of you boys out east tn. I can drive a little over a hour to a trout stream that is either covered up with people or fished out. But I have found a lot of these patterns work well for smallmouth and all sorts of panfish
@@slickydicky I'm 1hr from Hiwassee and 2hrs from Telico. It's still far for me, but Telico hatchery stocks the majority of TN's rivers, so there's usually productive fishing. Hiwassee is a tailwater though, so it can be frustrating when the water is high.
@@RustyShacklefardd I'm about a hour from Dale hollow hatchery. They stock one creek that's 15 minutes from my house once a year it usually gets fished out really quick because the people that live in that immediate area don't know anything about conservation of resources. Now granted Dale Hollow stocks a small creek the is fed from a spring that literally starts at the rear of their facility but you can imagine that's where EVERYONE in Celina Tn fly fishes so I dont bother.
throw in a hot spot with some Glo Brite.
Cool but odd music lol
