Tying the Dark Destroyer Pike Fly
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 03. 2017
- I designed the Dark Destroyer to tempt my local river pike during murky water conditions this autumn/winter. The original was darker with a hint of chartreuse nayat under the wing. This variant widens the profile with the addition of a JBM Brush, which also seems to exaggerate the jerk action and of course brighten the fly. First cast this week the fly got hit pretty hard so I might tie a few more.

kick ass music.
really love the hooks. they where design by ad swier if im correct. an awesome dutch pike flyfisherman. keep on tying maybe ill try this one as well
I don't use them anymore as struggle to sharpen them. No other complaints than that
I can't imagine not being able to catch saltwater species of fish with this fly.
Amazing video Paul. Great job! In which water conditions do you fish these streamers? Do they work in clear water? Thanks a lot for teaching us! :) best regards
Hi Tim, i tend to fish this pattern when in low light or if there is colour in the water. Thanks for the compliment
Beautiful fly, Paul. Please tell us more about the adhesive used for the eyes.
I mention it a fair bit in recent videos. I mostly use Evostik Serious Glue as its non toxic. Works very well, but it's always worth coating the eyes and the front of head with a UV resin. The weak point with most eyes in the epoxy moulding to the foil.
@@paul_monaghan Thank you very much!
Hey mate, what sort of vice is that? Do you think it would hold an 8/0 hook?
Keep up the good work!
Cheers!
Cheers..It's an Atlas vise made by Wolf Indiana. I've used up to 7/0 with no problem so 8/0 should be fine. Toby stocks them at Funky
Great work where can I finds the sound track you used here
What size is the Pike Skinz? Is the UK the only place to get these?
What size Pike Skinz did you use? they come in a bunch of different sizes. also....is the color in the video electric yellow? I cant find a lime color.
Edward Crumb yeah my mistake it's electric yellow. Think this was the large brush. I know JBM have some different sizes now and after the video was made. Nightmare Musky Flies (NA) have some, but check with Tony. Where are you based?
What kind of material is the green stuff from jerkbaitmania?
Pike Skins/kanekalon
Great :) but where i can buy material ??
Not one shop unfortunately. Try Flytyingeu, DeerCreek and Jerkbaitmania. Nayat is from Skeena River Fly Supplies or Foxytail. FlyDressing are also doing it now
Paul Monaghan thx very much. Fly its great :)
Awesome tie! What material is the chartreuse?
Very old vid John, I recall it was a synthetic brush. You could use anything really in the midsection to add a splash of colour.
sinking or
floating ?
Very slow sink. The fly is designed to hang and jerk so use the line to fish it at the depth you want. Hope that helps
Thank you very much :)
Nice fly bud but have to say I don't see the merit to using BFF as a tail and Cutting out the curly stuff. If not requiring bulk in an area it is much cheaper to use the fibres from a cheap straight hair party wig. Think it is almost identical to the staight fibres in BFF and way cheaper. I really like your patterns though 👍
Lol...it's an old video and was using materials I had and was using then. The video is just a guide and agree a wig is a cheaper option. Personally I prefer nayat as it moves better. I'll leave it up to the tyer to decide what they want to sub
@@paul_monaghan I understand dude 👍 using what you had to hand. Funny that you mention Nayat cause I was thinking that also but as it is not so cheap I only mentioned the wig. The wig material is suprisingly good, nice and shiny and slightly translucent. Makes lovely sea trout and bass flies like surf candy styles.
