Kelly hello from Peter town! For more than 10 years I have been watching videos of different knitting masters. I came across your template just today. I am amazed at how much it gives a wide field for creativity. Amazing !!! Especially on the hooks of high numbers. With your light hand, I take it for myself. Thanks for the ideas. Sorry for my english and google translator. All the best!!!
Six years on, this video still offers received wisdom. Kelly - the peacock wing case can be enhanced beyond belief by adding a few (maybe a dozen) strands of Peacock Ice Dubbing. You're the Master, but trust me on this. This dubbing is a swine to control, but it's just about doable. I feed in at the strands from the corner of the packet, and ease it out as I cinch down. There are SO many flies that can be transformed for the better by Ice dubbing applied VERY sparingly.
I just picked up some wine colored thread and some more peacock. I really like tying my hares ears this way. The wing case shines and the burgundy colored thread makes a cool looking head. Thanks for the great ideas a great tying tips. I appreciate it. Super cool. Can't wait to fish these nymphs this season in wisconsin.
Thanks so much Kelly, you and the crew has come such a long way in the videoing. I have learn so much from y’all. I am in the southeast and exploring all the time. Just made my first purchase from y’all just a few weeks back. Madi took my order great customer service 👍
I been tying my hare's ear nymphs with peacock for a wing case since around 1985, I needed a few and I ran out of mottled turkey that I was using, by accident of making due- I found that the fly was more effective, I just caught more fish, I could have been that I just gotten more skilled at fishing a nymph. Dubbing loop is the way to go on these too, makes for a more durable segmented fly in my opinion, I once caught some 30 trout on a size 14 hare's ear in the course of the day, the fly was chewed up a bit but still fishable, my favorite nymph too! Simple and cheap to tie, and the materials are just so common!
great fly! I'm new to this and that seemed fairly simple enough. you mentioned that this represents a lot of the nymphs out there? that's good to know. great video!!!!
Kelly, You mention at the beginning that you probably only need two colors of hares ear to cover all bases. Natural and olive or some other combo? I assume dark and light.
Kelly. Great videos. You mentioned adding UV ice dub as an enhancer in some of your other videos. Do you recommend adding some to the hares eat nymph? And how much do you blend in with the hares ear dubbing?

Great video! I am having a hard time figuring out what you use for tails on your brown and olive versions. Also do you use full hares masks for the brown and olive or premaid hares ear dubbing? Thanks in advance for any replies.
Jared, I use Hungarian partridge for the tails. I will use the dyed colors on the olive or brown but don't really think it matters. I prefer hares mask for the differing hair lengths, I tend to use the shorter ear hair a lot. on the one I tied I made it a little more long int eh thorax than I normally do (or at least it looks like it in the video) but I was trying to show the technique style. I generally make the thorax just slightly bigger than the abdomen and thats when I lookfor a little longer hair in the mask. Thanks for watching, KG
If you can get a hold of a dubbing loop tool get it I have had a similar type of tool for over 25 years they are very easy to use and makes tying so much easier.
I like your style of tying but it took me a long time to run in to you. When you are talking about your system to get the fly down is that a splitshot or something else?
So Kelly, How small are you able to tie those hare's ears with the dubbing loop method? You mentioned baetis. I fish so many rivers that are home to small bugs.
Nice buggy fly. You mentioned how simple it was, yet it's an 8 or 9 minute fly with 2 dubbing loops. Methinks you and I have a bit different definition of simple. ;)
Josh Higdon Beg to differ. I put out 15 to 30 dozen various flies per week, looking for all the efficiencies I can, and this fly with 2 dubbing loops is not a 4 minute fly. Tie one and time it. You'll see.
Wow, 2.5 sentences and you confirm for all the type of person you are. It is always nice when someone leaves and the area gets better just by their departure. It is even better when they publicly broadcast the appreciated exit.

I like the tubes for the flash material. How do you organize your dubbing?
any reason why not splitting the thread for the dubbing loop find this much easier and less bulky.
Not really, what ever you like and works for you, thanks for watching. KG

you mention that the dubbing loop tool will be in production soon. When and where might I purchase one ? ty

Ron i generally use a drop shot style and yes its with split shot. kelly

use 8.0 instead of 6.0 or just counterwind your thread and divide it super easy..
Hey Kelly love vids, just wondering what brand of vice you use?
Thanks Kevin , that's a Renzetti 4000. Thanks for watching.
Where do you get your tubes
I cannot find those tubes anywhere on the interwebs... where do you get them?
Never mind... found them; www.slideinn.com/product/dan-baileys-tyers-tubes/
Kelly,
where do you get your tubes, great idea
Those are Dan Bailey's Tyers tubes and we sell them online at www.slideinn.com/product/dan-baileys-tyers-tubes/
Nice buggy fly. You mentioned how simple it was, yet it's an 8 or 9 minute fly with 2 dubbing loops. Methinks you and I have a bit different definition of simple. ;)
Chris Miller without tutoring, this is about a 3-4 minute fly off you're at your tying station pumping out quantities.
Josh Higdon Beg to differ. I put out 15 to 30 dozen various flies per week, looking for all the efficiencies I can, and this fly with 2 dubbing loops is not a 4 minute fly. Tie one and time it. You'll see.
15 to 30 dozen throwaways??
Dubbing loops dont even take extra time
He literally spends the first 6 minutes talking take away all the time he spends describing/explaing and it was literally 4 minutes.
Wow, 2 dubbing loops and nearly 14 mins of shit talk to tie a nymph. Worst tying I’ve ever seen. Outta here
You clearly dont have the patience for fly fishing anyhow.
Show us a better version. Oh wait you have nothing. Move along
Wow, 2.5 sentences and you confirm for all the type of person you are. It is always nice when someone leaves and the area gets better just by their departure. It is even better when they publicly broadcast the appreciated exit.
