Floyd Franke called this the Franke "Lake Erie Shiner." I learned how to tie this fly by watching Floyd tie it at the Catskill Fky Fishing Center & Museum, when he would spend the day demonstrating his marvelous tying skills. Floyd was a good friend and mentor. You've done this fly proud, Tim. Thank you.
That fly looks like a million bucks- nicely done
Great tip on making your own fly tying eye's. Buying prefabricated eyes can get expensive. The way you do it the color combination are endless
Beautiful fly..great instructions! 👍👍 Really appreciate the wooden skewer “eye” tip. Man they look perfect..I’ll definitely be using that! Thanks a lot! 👌✌️
By far one of my most productive patterns for Atlantic salmon here in upstate NY.
Where do you fish for salmon in ny
Jakub Mielko Not speaking for Rob G here, but any Lake Ontario tributary
Robert A. K yeah I’m a bit down south and there isn’t a lot of then down here and the drive is kinda long to any of the northern stuff
Jakub Mielko How far south? I live outside Philadelphia Pa. it takes me 5 hrs drive and I go about 2/3 times a year.
Robert A. K I’m in like central Jersey
Nice fly, when I get this house sold and get moved into the motor home I'll have to tie some. Too bad I can't right now, I'm leaving for the Manistee River in about an hour. Keep the good stuff coming.
Love this pattern dude. Thank you for another great tie.
I saw this years ago. He ties it a bit different but the fish could care less. He noticed a lavender cast on local shinners here in Ohio , hence the blue. His fly uses a lavender bucktail rather than blue for smallies. However, I do think Kingfisher blue is a trigger for steelhead. Think I will give it a shot this fall with blue
Another good tip with these painted heads…
While the adhesive on the head is still soft and not yet cured, use the flat portion of a pair of needle nose pliers or large tweezers - that is, the non-serrated section of the jaws - to gently, “squish,“ the sides of the head, giving it a flattened profile.
This gives you a bigger, flat area to apply the paint dots that make up the eyes.
Thanks, Tim

You should tell those ladies " want to see my toe nails?" Watch them blush
Tim, that is a good idea using nail polish for the eyes instead of model paint. I use Testors and the caps always stick to the bottles.
My below comment had bits and pieces of being correct. On the Frakenfly site, there is a recipe for Buckeye Shiner by Ray Tucker. I tried to paste the link to no avail. Give it a look. Also a good read
very nice as always
Looks like a winner
Looks like a great pattern for the steelhead here in Erie, Pa.
Hey Tim just wanted to let you know I think the title is spelled wrong on this video. Awesome video! If only I had the tools and materials.
Great tutorial Tim. Lots of your "tips" throughout. In central NY emerald shiners are called "buckeye" minnows. I've seen pods of them swimming the rip rap shoreline, they're very sparkly and semi transparent with big eyes. I've had success with black over yellow over white with a red throat and big eyed hair wing streamers where I fish. I'll try Franke's pattern, maybe tied sparse to go with the semi transparency. You mentioned "trout spey", are you familiar with Steven Bird? He had a column in Flyfishing & Tying Journal on wet flies and runs a blog called Soft Hackle Journal. That's where I first heard of "trout spey". He ties some pretty sweet dabbler style wets he fishes on the swing. Thanks for great videos.
Enjoyed how you sneak a few zingers in there. Check out Five & Below sometime for nail polish - wide range of colors and all 5 bucks or less.
Is there any specific reason this would be tied on a downeye streamer hook rather than a spey hook? What would the benefit be?
lol i used my sisters nail polish to tie this fly and she got so pissed!
Another great video, Tim. Sorry, I'll have to be that guy. This looks like a great emerald shiner immitation...minus that blue beard/throat...or what ever Floyd Franke called it. Any idea why he went with the Silver Doctor Blue?
Huh I never knew this had a name I’ve been tying them differently but they work well for steelhead bottom bouncing try a white and pink for salmon I promise it won’t disappoint
What’s a good pattern for a creek Chub? There are a ton on my fishery that are 2-4 inches long.
Foam beetles
Clouser minnow
Whats the best streemer for summer steelhead, in your opinion?
What's your spey setup? I'd like to try single hand before I make the dive on another rod 😂
My wife knows I'm a swinger and she's OK with that.
Cabelo sintetico jig
Is there possibility to make a video on some bigger pike streamers?
"While blocking the view with your thumb..." 😂
How does it work for smallmouth bass?
I've had good luck with the Mickey Finn which is similar to this fly so I don't see why it wouldn't work
If there are emerald shiners anywhere about, this fly will work well. Trout, Steelhead, Salmon, Bass, Striped Bass it doesn't matter. You may want to adjust the type of hook and its size according to species.
Are you Tom Rosenbauer?
No, that's Tim Flagler
When I was at the supermarket I was buying some sally hansen's and I just lied and said I was buying it for my girlfriend and left.
