Fly Tying: Lynch's Drunk and Disorderly (Shad Rap)

Tommy Lynch's Shad Rap variation of the original Drunk and Disorderly is tied on a bent front hook in order to get a little further down in the water column. It can also be tied with 5mm rattles in the front hook (omitted in this video). The front hook is an Ahrex TP650 which has a 26 degree bend. The wedged head is able to catch a lot more water because of this bend, and allows the fly to erratically dart and dive.

Overwing: Natural Mallard Flank

Watching you do the detail work (trimming heads etc) is never boring, it's where I learn the details that make a better looking streamer.

Awesome, especially the hair work. I've been doing ok with d&d's but the stacked hair collar technique is what I really needed to get a better tie and head. Thanks!

Thanks! I struggled for a long time with the wedged heads as well. I’m glad the video helped out.
