interesting that so many tiers thread the bead onto the hook by holding the hook in one hand and the bead in the other, obviously they have superior dexterity compared to mine - I drop fewer beads by inserting the hook upside down in the vice, then threading the bead onto the hook, then turning the hook right side up, putting it back into the vice, then begin tying
We tie these in chartreuse and call them green weenies. They mimic little inch worms in the smokies. I thought it was the dumbest fly ever at first but I have since caught some of my biggest trout on that fly.
Thank you this is my second fly I’ve made that looks like a fly I got here from the grasshoppers video and that one was a hard one it was really hard hahahahah anyway I have a question I just got into fly tieing and I was wondering is a may flie a good fly for fish and easy too? Thanks
Thanks for watching this simple Mop Fly Tutorial! Stay tuned 🤙
The mop fly reminds me of a leach or a tiny centipede
Will that mop chenille float if we hit with enough floatant? If I can get in blue it might make a great dragonfly tail.
I can't wait for your "beginning fly tying" series to start. I'm getting my son into fly tying. So informative.
Stay tuned. Coming this Fall.
Now I will be ready for the big mop hatch next month.
You never know when it will happen. Be preapred.
Excellent, just bought some tying equipment. I appreciate you keeping it simple for us beginners.
That's great! We'd definitely recommend these for beginners. Thanks for watching!
"Don't worry, it's a mop fly"... a metaphor for life. I loathe, ummm love, ummm loathe (did I say love?) this video!!!
Thanks for watching.
Well dang, I can tie these sitting in the parking lot on my tail gate. Maybe even with a beer in one hand! Wearing waders!
That's awesome! Happy to help.
They have very beautiful colors.
They are very simple.
Thank you.
Thanks for watching.
Would love to get into tieing my own flies! This one looks perfect for some pond blue gill.
Definitely! Tying your own is definitely rewarding and this is a great fly to start with 👍
Love this fly here in north ga. Gills, bass and trout love it even more!
Thís is a fantastic tutorial thanks só much!!! You helped me tie my first ever fly!

Its just faster this way. With bigger beads and hooks it is much easier than tiny beads or tiny hooks

Add a reverse hackle and it makes a very effective Tenkara Kebari Fly.
Cool. Thanks for the tip.

Sometimes simple is the best bet! Thanks for watching.
Good stuff! Thx also for your advice the other day on the correct leader for my 5 weight rod and a swimy jimmy.

Thanks for watching. Send questions over to the shop directly and they will be happy to help you there.
Right on right handed!
Just keep rockin'.
I crappie fish. I am going to tie some and try it
As you should! Thanks for watching.
The mop fly is the Senko worm of the trout world.
Could be?
Why do you half hitch instead of whip finish?
Mint Berry Crunch Please send all questions directly to the shop and they will help you there.
Works the same, and its quick and easy.
awesome
Thanks for watching!
What kind of vise is that? Thanks for the lesson!
Not sure. Send Ryan an e-mail at the shop and he'll get right back to you. admin@madriveroutfitters.com
Good for winter steelhead fishing?
Don’t see why not but best to call and chat with the folks at the shop. Thanks.
What fish does this fly be used for? WayneO
Anything you want really! Mostly trout and panfish though.
When nothing's working I throw a mop fly/ squirmy wormy tandem rig. There, I said it!
It's ok to say. They flat out work!!!
What’s half hitch?
It's a knot.
Bottom line, Fish will smash a Mop!
Smash! No question.
You cheated! Wrapped your thorax dub on the thread with your right hand!
Sorry. We’ll take the video down right away and Ryan will be fired. Shameful.
