I love watching you guys tie flies! I like anything that catches fish.
Thank you! We like flies that catch fish too! 😊
These rainbow beads are where it’s at for attractor/searching patterns. I orient them in specific ways depending on what I’m trying to accomplish…a baitfish imitation might get dark on the top, light in the bottom. I like to keep the amber/orange on top for thin mints simply because it looks awesome and inspires confidence (which is 50% of the battle). A rainbow bead adds a perfect accent to something like a hare’s ear or a black woolly bugger. It’s obviously not going to work for every situation (sometimes they want a more subtle nymph or a straight black bugger), but it’s good to have a few of them kicking around when you know you’re gonna be scouting.
Yeah... confidence really is key! and i love the rainbow beads too!
I will tie a bunch for sure!
Cool! That ice dub is coarse and hard to spin. A little dubbing wax may help keep it tighter and easier to spin on the thread. I'm starting to do that now with this dubbing when I almost never use dubbing wax otherwise.
Nice tie
Thanks
Those Peacock Euro flies work very well!!! Thank you!
Besides peacock, this style fly is great in bright green, tan, black and purple.
Yeah... nymphs like this are super easy to tie and really effective. It is so easy to change the look and feel just by changing the dubbing and bead colors.
I like that peacock nymph
So do I 🙂 I just made it up one day and really liked it. And it catches a bunch of fish!
Yes to fly tying videos, the next thing for me to learn!
I have a whole fly tying playlist that will help you see all of the fly tying videos! Hope you enjoy! czcams.com/play/PLuLwf7ym7i7ZKJSrh7WP-pftvhmwIytMK.html
Another great video keep them coming
Thanks! This one is a good producer!
@@WhiteDogTrailCompany I'm learning a lot watching you tying these flies I'll be on the Vice tomorrow hopefully I can do as good a job as you 😃🐜🐞🐟
@@williamswanson6199 It's all about getting the proportions right. Go less than you think you need... you can always add more.
I am Robert I’ve been watching your videos now since the very first video on you and euro nipping for beginner I have learned quite a bit, from yours videos and all your help i’m seven years old and I don’t think you’re ever too old to learn something new and this is very interesting information to learn. Keep up the great work.
Absolutely never too old! Stay young at heart and keep learning and exploring! My goal is to be fly fishing well into my 80's!
Awesome flies!! Hope I win!
I just set up my new Frabil Aegis in the basement. My 3yr old daughter came down to check out Dada's cool, new fort. We were both sitting inside with doors and windows closed eating icecream. I set my phone on a bucket and put on one of your laker ice fishing videos from last year and you were inside the exact same shelter. It was surreal! The cold cement felt like ice through my boots and I was dreaming of my upcoming laker trip in early January. Great video and thanks for the augmented reality!!
HAHAHA... I love it! That was actually a client's shelter but I absolutely loved it! Way better than the one I use most of the time. I was really thinking about getting it! Definitely heavier but way more comfortable. I love that when the ice is clear you can see everything below you whereas mine has a floor in it.
I really appreciate how you put yourself in our shoes, and give us all the details that we’re going to need. I also appreciate your humility, even though you really seem to know so much.
Thank you 🙂 I like the teaching aspect of it all.
Really love the peacock dubbing!
Me too! It makes a really effective fly too!
I really like the look of this peacock nymph!
I just kinda made it up one day and it fished really well. It is a simple tie except for the fact the the dubbing is hard to work with.
Love the videos. Very clear and concise.
I like your Nymphing box
Nice looking fly Would like to see more
I am new to Euro nymphing and appreciate all the Euro Nymph tips and tying assistance I can find. Thank you.
Tying a lot of nymphs myself and like this one. Gonna take your advice and tie these with different color beads and dubbing.
Love to ty them next session, and try them here in the Netherlands.
Cool... they are a universal fly in most places. Good Luck!
I tied a bunch up for Spring here In Soprano Land. It WORKED!
Awesome!!!
Thanks for the video great way to learn
I'm glad you're enjoying the fly tying videos!
Nice fly and tie
Thanks! It’s a solid pattern that catches fish.
Mice job. Hope to win one so I know what it's suppose to look like.. 👍
Enjoyed watching this. You did nice job tks.
Yes, peacock dubbing is awesome looking in the water
Yeah... I can't even remember how I found it... but I use it all the time now.
I have so much to learn. Thanks!
I found if you pinch the dubbing rope end between your fingers as you wrap it , it will wrap itself around the thread and stay tight !
That is exactly what I do now (assuming I'm thinking the same thing you described). I try to keep my thumb pressed against the thread the entire time and never let it off the thread and keep the material on the thread and I try to do very long spinning motion with my pointer finger. I found that helps a lot.
@@WhiteDogTrailCompany no, hold the end of the dubbing noodle between your finger n thumb pinching it with the thread and wind it on. The dubbing noodle will twist around the thread getting tighter with each wrap. It won’t get loose on your thread. Kind a like wrapping a piece of chenille .
very nice
I'm getting a lot out of you videos. Really appreciate it!
That's awesome! I love to hear that!
These flies look great and easy to tie. Thanks for sharing the steps with us.
A great tie for sure. Good tip on the multi-coloured bead.
Thanks... I go through more of the rainbow bead than any others. I definitely like em!
Really enjoy your bug tying films ,can't wait to see more nymph tying
Thanks... there is definitely more coming. Thinking a Perdigon next.
Love the fly will definitely try this one ,cheers Sean from Ireland .
Nice pattern I like how simple it is
I like all of my patterns simple. I tie and lose too many to make them complicated... and the fish don't care!
Cool bug
Thanks! It catches lots of fish! :)
Great demo. Will tie some for my box.
Cool! They're a great little nymph.
I’m so new to this sport and loving all this great information. I have sent this Chanel to all my fishing friends, and we are looking forward to next summer.
Awesome! and thank you for sharing! I'm assuming you've found the Euro Nymphing series I'm doing?
I love Peacock Ice Dub. I did really well lake fishing a peacock ice dub soft hackle last month. I had a helluva time dubbing peacock ice dub. Hardest stuff to dub with I’ve tried. Keep these Euro Nymph flies coming.
LOL... Yeah it can be a pain to work with... More ends up in my lap that on my fly!
@@WhiteDogTrailCompany I just did some leeches with Peacock Ice Dub in a dubbing loop. It was still a pain in the butt. The flies looked great though.
I love you videos, been working on learning the Euro Nymphing technique, your videos are very helpful. Keep them coming.
That's awesome to hear! That is really why I have this channel. It is a passion of mine and any time you can help someone else it makes it all worthwhile! Euro Nymphing is a ridiculously effective technique. I am amazed at how well I do most of the time. How you find the same! Best of luck!
That looks so awesome. I’m actually getting into fly tying. Just opened my CZcams soon I’ll be making fishing videos and what not. Just exploring new places doing anything outdoors. I love these kind of videos. Keep doing tying videos I enjoy them. Awesome giveaway I want in.
Great video. Keep the euro tying videos coming.
Thanks... we have a few more planned.
Great tying video, thank you. I am just getting into Euro nymphing and I am definitely going to tie some of these flies!!
Sweet! Good Luck!
Great pattern. Thanks for the tips.
Thank you! If your name is Walt... you need to try the Walt's Worm! 😂 I tie that one here. czcams.com/video/vK0vDe9rCOg/video.html
nice fly, nice video......Thank you
again nice vid. 1 question, why dont you spin the vise? it appears to be a rotary . Just curious, not a criticism.
Thank you so much for your help!! I’d love to even purchase some of the flies
I wish I had time to sell them :) I usually barely tie enough for myself lol. There is still an active giveaway for another fly tying video. You get a chance at winning some free :) It is on this video. czcams.com/video/vK0vDe9rCOg/video.html
Great flys great videos keep up the good work
Thanks 👍
Great video. Just got into fly tying.
Nice! Best part of fly tying is that you can create whatever you want. Some of my flies are actual patterns from other places and some are ones I just did on my own. And then you can adapt little things like the amount of weight to make them more effective for your waters. Have fun and good luck!
great video!!! keep the tying video coming !!!
Thanks... I have a few more planned this winter!
I like to learn more about the sexy stone.Also like to learn more about your leader setup. Thanks!
@@kevinberardino8912 YEAH! I've been thinking about going through my leader setup! Thank you for that suggestion. I will try to do that one for sure! As far as the Sexi Stone I have a video of tying that one. See this link czcams.com/video/u44H48xRQdM/video.html Thanks for the suggestions!
Good video, good description of the tying process. Just learning to ty, so this will be my next challenge
Good luck! These are pretty easy to start with! One of the basic rules is to learn your proportions. Many people go to large\long with their proportions when they start. Either way.. enjoy the process and hopefully you can catch some fish on the flies you tie yourself :)
VERY NICE.....I have to say those rainbow beads look awesome. I only have black and gold ones. I do however see some of the rainbow beads fixing to be ordered. Great video as always.
Yeah... I find I go through more rainbow beads than any other bead.
I love ur vids hope they keep coming alone I've learned alot an greatly appreciate ur time spent on The informational aspect
Definitely more coming. I was in ice fishing mode the last 2 months but will start focusing on fly fishing again soon. Hopefully things warm up and rivers clear all of their ice soon. The next video is likely to be another fly tying video. Thanks for the support! :)
Another great looking fly I would like to hear a discussion on differences in euro nymphing small streams and large streams
Yeah... that is a good topic. I'm planning on doing something like that in the future.
Fine video. Love the simplicity and I'll be trying some of these. Have a Grandson who just started guiding and I am going to have him learn to tie this up as a guide fly. I have been using some of these kinds of patterns and tying then on regular nymph hooks and using them in lakes and having good luck with them. This one will be used in couple weeks! Thanks again.
That's awesome! They are a consistent producer. Thanks for your comment!
Great video! I recently bought some ice peacock dubbing. Excited to tie some of these!
They are definitely a go to fly for me. That dubbing has a lot of reflection in it and gets a lot of bites.
Great video, I also like the idea of using the rainbow beads
I LOVE those rainbow beads! They have been really effective for me!
Clear, concise, love the demo.I also like tying simple nymphs which can be varied for color and/or weight for mostly tightline nymphing in CT and northern NH. Thanks.
Thanks! Most of the flies I tie are simple and effective! I have a few others on the channel if you haven't seen them.
Sometimes I find that if you bend the front of lead wire parallel to the shank it will fit up under the bead to help keep it in place. Or if there is a slot in the bead, you can pull the thread into the slot and then wrap it (it will spin the bead) inside the bead and creating a thread stop; when the bead stops spinning easily, you can move the thread out onto the shank and then do the lead wire per usual.
I love working with peacock feathers. The ice dubbing is a bit tricky to deal with but definitely worth having. I love the pattern, and how simple this is to tie. Thanks for sharing. Tight lines
Thanks for watching! It is definitely a little tricky to work with... sometimes I end up with more in my lap than on the fly :) I like that I don't have to worry about a peacock herl breaking though and I like the shine I get from the dubbing..
Thank you for your instructional video. I appreciate your narrative comments as they help to anticipate the experience of sitting at the tying vice. The material and tools list and source is also helpful. Thank you!
Glad the videos are helpful! Enjoy your tying and fishing! :)
I really like the videos you’re producing. A friend of mine in the late’70’s taught me nymphing on the San Juan River and he used 20# test and a semi taught line with a brassy. It was lots of fun but time has taken me away from those basics and your videos are bringing me back. It’ll take a while to see all your videos but I’m working on it
That's awesome! Welcome to the channel! Enjoy your time while here... there is a lot of fly fishing with a focus on Euro and small stream wild trout in the last several years. I'm working hard at a whole series of Euro Nymphing videos now! Hope to have the first one out in a few weeks!
Nice video, as I'm new to fishing I will be trying these out. Thanks for sharing.
I’m not commenting for the giveaway but to say thank you for the video. I love tying my own flies and am always inventing variations. Also prefer simple flies which fish well. Euro nymphing was a game changer for me. I’m in Melbourne Australia and our fishing season opens in 2 weeks.Cannot wait to try some of these flies.
Awesome! Good luck!
It looks like an addictive patten & a must try fun pattern to catch , thanks for sharing
One of my favorites!
@@WhiteDogTrailCompany it just might be the cold water tryout on those NJ & NY streams & creeks I'm looking for , it's about 36 degrees water temps I'm looking for another cold water pattern = those rainbows are getting hip to the hip on pink last week ,
@@cwhite6167 I like these because the trout see them easily but they look realistic at the same time.
I'm new to the fly fishing i watch all your videos on tying to learn from your videos
That's Great! I love to hear that. I hope they are helping!
I fish in the uk at my local fishery with all sorts of nymphs but had no success yet would like to try some of your nymphs that you tie , the videos that you put up are very helpful and will learn to tie them after a few attempts , keep them coming.
Thanks...I hated nymphing for something like 20 years! and then I learned Euro Nymphing. The big keys are tying heavy flies you can feel them at the end of your line and keeping a tight line so you can detect strikes. I have several Euro Nymphing videos that may help. Good Luck!
just want to say thanks for all the good info i do a lot of the same stuff that you do ice fish for lakers fly fish the salmon river and lots of rivers in the adirondaks just want to say keep up the great work will be tying this fly thank you very much
Awesome! Good luck out there!
I love this nymph. I caught 18 trout on it this weekend.
Sweet! That's awesome to hear! :)
Great looking fly, would love to see a review on your Euro rods
Nice! I really like that idea! Thanks!
Love the look. Just started tying. Enjoy using Scuds and simple flies. Jeff K
This one is a steady producer for user! I also love simple flies. I lose too many to make them too intricate to tie.
Love the simple ties.... I fly fish in Australia in our high country streams and getting into using these style of nymph ... currently using standard nymph set ups rather than the euro rods...
Use what you have and enjoy the experience. If you get the chance to try euro, go for it.
I really like your down to earth explanation of tying your flies I am always looking for a go to fly do you do any wet fly patterns???
I honestly don't do wet flies. I have nymphs, like the blow torch, where I use some CDC soft hackle.
I'm giving this a shot. I use the ice dub as a collar. Dang why not the entire fly? Thanks!
I tried if , it does work. Thanks
That's awesome... great to hear it!
I’m really enjoying your channel and hope it goes from strength to strength. I’m looking forward to tying some of these nymphs to try out on my local river. One question: do you have a tip for identifying the flies you have tied that are heavier/ lighter when they are in your box? Or are you just super organised?
Ah... good question! I do keep my fly box fairly organized. I use rows in my fly box for certain flies and put my heavier flies toward the top and lighter flies toward the bottom. I have 12 flies in a row. It is easy to tell when I use different size beads but if I use the same size bead and varying levels of lead I'll actually pinch the fly to see how much lead I can feel in it if I don't know exactly.
Hey I’m a big fan of the small stream brook trout fishing. Particularly the southern Adirondacks, as that’s my home water.
Awesome! I love small stream brookies! I have lots of brookie videos from the ADKs and VT. check out the foam caddis we tie if you haven't seen it. I make the fly specifically for small stream brookies. czcams.com/video/HmqzGIcy5zo/video.html
Haha I’ve already seen them. That’s why I need more! I’ve got the itch but can’t scratch it until spring opens the season back up!
Hi - as you guys over the pond tend to use inches over metric is the 0.15 wire in inches or mm please? - love the looks of this nymph
The .015 wire is in inches. All of our fly shops here carry it that way.
Thanks I assumed it was based on the thickness in the video but sometimes when zoomed in you can't always tell. Thx
I fish in the UK love to try these great looking flies.I could also send you 6 of my best euro nymph patterns so you could then try on your local rivers and maybe find a great trans Atlantic nymph .Best regards Rob H
I really like that idea! I love finding and trying new flies!
@@roberthouse2329 Can you give me an email address? Probably want to keep mailing addresses offline. you can email me at bryan_spinner@yahoo.com
Great video your content is amazing. I cannot explain how much you have helped me as a beginner fly fisher/euro nympher/fly tyier.
How often do you change flies when you are out euro nymphimg?
Thank you and I'm glad you're learning a lot! If I'm catching fish I'm probably not changing. Most of the time I change it's because I'm figuring out the right weight of flies for the water or I'm not getting bit on one or both flies. Once I dial in on flies that are working well I'll stick with them.
My most loved and fav video, I have been a fly tier and follower for 12-15 yrs of youtube and other venues on the net. Love the fact that you had ooops's and stated just fix and move on. I now know this is a channel that I will follow for a whole lot longer.
Thank you! I don't really consider myself an awesome fly tier... in fact I don't really enjoy it that much to be honest. I think I'm a practical fly tier. I like simple and effective patterns and I like tying my own flies so I can make the exactly as I want.
Just tied two up to see how they hit in California. Thanks for the video.
Awesome! Good luck!
Hi from calgary Alberta Canada .your doing jigs could you do a jig using straggle string . thanx
Very nice tie, how about some ice fishing flies and video using the same?
Good suggestion! I like that one. Thanks!
Like your video instructions, question. are you still giving away some of those awesome nymph’s in peacock ? Appreciate your time and effort. Db
Thanks! The giveaway on this video was done a long time ago. I do have them for sale on my site but they go quickly! i had 20 up there earlier this week and there are 2 left I think.
Do you ever use leach flies(marabou or squirl) when euro nymphing?
I haven't yet... but I want to tie some jig streamers like that (on the smaller side)
I swing pretty small leaches for trout, never tried them on a euro setup.
Thanks for sharing your video on the ice dub nymph. However please do a video explaining the length of euro nymph leaders. With details of where the fly line extends in your rod or on the real during euro nymphing. Does fly line hang out the end of the rod or does it stay on the real while nymphing. I have heard both?? Some say your fly line never leaves the real and some say it extends slightly out of your last guide. And however it is could you explain the length of the leader. Thank you
Hi Todd... Have you seen my Euro Nymphing Series? I go through it in detail. At the end of Volume 1 I go through using a fly line versus a mono rig and in Volume 2 I go into detail on my Euro Nymphing Leader Setup and Micro Leaders. Here is the play list of the Euro Nymphing Series: czcams.com/play/PLuLwf7ym7i7bre38GWqk0pXZggydq3Z5m.html
Here is the short version. If you use a fly line specific to Euro Nymphing then you typically have some line out of the tip of the fly rod or maybe in the guides of the rod depending on how far away you're fishing (length of the cast). Many people do not want to buy a Euro Nymphing fly line... so they us a mono rig. If you're using a mono rig that can be attached to a normal fly line and you never want a normal fly line off the reel when Euro Nymphing... it is too heavy and causes many problems. I would watch Volumes 1 and 2 to start and that will really help you! Then watch the rest of the series as there is a ton of great information that will help you be successful!
@@WhiteDogTrailCompany Hi there. Thanks for getting back to me. Yes I have went through the whole entire series. However I just did not quite understand where the Fly line ends and where the mono takes over. I wasn’t sure if the fly line should extend out past the tip of the rod or should stay fully on the real while nymphing. I think after watching several videos?? The Fly line should always stay on the real and everything going through your guides should be mono until you reach your actual leader with the Sighter. When I think about it it seems that would give you the most sensitivity and the least amount of sag or slack line between the Rod and the Fly’s. Thank you again for getting back and if I’m on the right track please let me know. I appreciate all of your videos.
Great video - can we use peacock herl instead of dubbing?
Sure! That's the beauty of fly tying! You can do anything you want! 🙂 Peacock Herl is a little delicate so if you use it be sure to use some sort of ribbing and counter wrap it (opposite direction as the Herl) so that it helps reinforce the Herl and you have less chance of the fly completely unraveling on you... If you use Peacock Herl and don't wrap something afterwards it will definitely unravel on you eventually and probably after one fish.
Like to see a beginning euro nymph if video.
This video is the most explicit on showing how to dub "Ice dub " that I've seen so far
That ice dubbing can be tricky... more ends up on the table than on the thread 😂 Spinning it tight is just about the only way to do it.
Do you ever use slotted beads ?
Yes.. I've tried them but honestly because I use lead in my flies the countersunk beads work really well when you push the lead up into the bead. So I've never really found a need for the slotted beads for the way I tie my flies. I do have some but almost never use them.
Are you getting amped up for some ice fishing? I need to stay motivated and get out there (not a fan of the cold weather fishing)
LOL... Uh... I should be but this storm just had me hating winter. I want a cold, snowless winter for ice fishing. Once there is snow on the ice I hate it. Might end up doing more winter fly fishing if there is too much snow on the ice.
@@WhiteDogTrailCompany I read that the Kaydeross is open year round (most of it). Maybe if we get a nice 45 degree day I will do some exploring.
@@AdiposePhin Yes it is! However most fish don't hold over. We were supposed to do a private fall stocking but it never happened because the hatchery was out of fish. :-\
Do these work all year long?
Absolutely! The great thing about nymphing is that you don't have to figure out what is hatching and match it. If your fly resembles nymphs that live in those waters they'll work year round!
I would avoid pheasant tail as tailing material. It breaks off too easily. Even when I tie pheasant tail-bodied flies where a tailing from the body material would be simple, I tie in wood duck flank. It better matches the natural and survives more fish.
How much is guided trips for jigging lake trout in lake George
Also do you do any steelie fishing
@@stevemillington628 I don't guide steelhead because I'm not close enough to the rivers. I get out once or twice a year for steelhead myself. For Lake George ice fishing we do $250 for a 4 hour morning trip. How much ice time we get will depend on weather\ice conditions. Hoping for a good year like last year!
White Dog Outdoors any word on ice conditions yet since the big storm Hague should be frozen within the next few weeks I would assume
@@stevemillington628 I don't think we'll see any real ice near lake trout territory for a while. Usually mid-January is when we start to get safe ice (if we're lucky). Totally depends on temps, precipitation and wind conditions....
White Dog Outdoors yeah I agree 100%
Nice, tying videos are good but how about box organization ideas
Check out the Fly Selection videos in my Euro Nymphing Series. I think volume 2 or maybe volume 3 go through how I organize my fly box.
Steelhead on nmphs
You can definitely catch steelies on nymphs although I usually go with a bigger black stonefly for steelies or a wooly buggers... or egg imitations (if fish are spawning).
Would love to see some big muskie/pike streamers videos
I started to get into big articulated streamers for big trout but haven't really done much with them in a while. They are great in fall and spring. I also used to target pike\tiger muskie too but haven't in a while. Would love to do it again though! Thanks for the suggestion!
Anytime. I've muskie fished for 20 years but just getting into fly fishing and tying my own flies always looking for an opportunity to learn.
How is that nymph different than a frenchie?
To be honest... a lot of euro flies tend to be similar in nature. Change some materials or colors and you end up with a different fly. I actually stopped tying the frenchie for the most part and tie these instead. A frenchie is a pheasant tail body with a small dubbed hot spot. A frenchie will likley have a thinner body and less flash than this fly. Because this fly is dubbed for the whole body it tends to be a bit "buggier" and will provide more flash because of the material. The frenchie, tied with the same bead as this, may sink a little better because of the narrower and less buggy body. In the end they both work :)
