I just saw a video of guys fishing articulated streamers on my favorite stream and killing the nice browns. I’ve never even tied one so seeing this video next is a sign I need to get tying. Nice video.
Had the Kreelex in my box for years and never used it. Finally tied it on 2 months ago and load and behold, it worked. That's what I get for not showing it confidence. Like your colors, thanks!
Man I think I can handle this one..unless I win the giveaway then I’ll just use yours! 😂 Actually I’d have to frame yours Brian, it would be too special to lose.🙂 Thanks for the video and chance to win. Best wishes! 👍👍🎣👌
That's such a simple, quick tie. I've never fished a Kreelex. The profile seems like it would get super skinny as it's pulling through the water. Am I reading this right? I like the addition of the shank and, at that size, it doesn't seem like it would get hung up on itself.
So, during movement it does get pretty skinny....but during the fall it flares out really well--especially in slower water. The flash will always be a little bit of a pain at times when it comes to fouling.
Love the pattern but just one question (might me being brought up with books from Bob Popovics): why do you cut the flash straight and not tapered for better movement? I have noticed while fly fishing for pike that flash cut off at the same length tends to cloth together and moves less than tapered sections
This fly is one of the few times that I don't think we are looking at THE Kreelex unles the cuts are on hard angles. 99.9% of the time I like tapers too.
Looks like a super flash fly… it doesn’t put off too much flash?? I’m always concerned about having to much flash. Did I get lead down the wrong path with that concern???
Love this! Purple is my favorite color!
Absolutely terrific modification of the original kreelex. Definitely will tie some up for spring smallie fishing. 😃🎣
Go for it!
Really like that color combo! I don't tie, but I would buy.
Great looking kreelex. I've never seen them tied articulated like that. Gonna have to give it a go.
Nice looking fly
Thanks!
Looks like a great smallmouth bass fly.
It is!
Granted, I'm not the most experienced but I've never seen a Kreelex tied in anything but gold and silver. Very cool color scheme!
Great Fly, Colours are a winner.
So good!
Short, sweet, simple, Oh so nice. 👍
And easy!

Get to work! 🙂
Loving these flies! Thank you
Good to see your thread isn't falling of the spool and turning into a birds nest on the floor.
Stooopid thread spools......😡🤬😡
This is great! Nice quick tie. Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching!
Like the purple!
Love the color combo
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing Brian, looking forward to the next video.
Thanks, Paul!
Used kreelex a bit on steelhead flies. Love this articulated fly
Killer looking tie
Nice job gotta love those simple flies!
Sometimes simple is better.
One of my favorite patterns ever.
Nice, looks way cooler than the traditional kreelex.
I agree!
Kind of a different looking fly, but who knows what the fish want. I guess the fish do, but they're not talking. Keep the good stuff coming Brian.
Thanks, will do.
Great tie! One of the easiest articulated fly videos I've seen. Thanks for sharing. If I can't win it I will try tying it.,
I like the inverted hook on this pattern!
That's a great tie. Love the colors.
Endless color-combos for this fly.
I haven't worked with shanks yet or made any articulated fly. I need to & have several ideas. Thank you for the video.

Great fly looks fun to tie
Nice! Didn't think a kreelex could get any better
Great looking fly!!!
Thanks!
A great pattern made even better!
Good stuff!
I aspire to have a sticker game like Brian!
😎
Beautiful
Looks slick and will fish well
It does!
Looks great and would love to catch some fish on it
Thanks for video Brian. Looks like I'll be at feather craft buying some kreelex. Stuff has a bunch of uses.
Yes! Tell the guys I said Hi!
sure will.@@flyfishingtheozarks
never fished kreelex, looks cool
Very nice!
Cool and simple fish catching pattern. Thanks Brian
Thanks for watching!
Haven't evon watched the video yet an I no its gonna be a good one watching as I speak keep up the good work
Such a nasty color combo! 🔥
Love it!
Looks good !
So good.....
The one fly that “flies” in the face of a few tying conventions. I like it Brian and a quick, cheap guide fly tie. 😎🎣
I see what you did there. 😉
@@flyfishingtheozarks nice as a stepdad I enjoy puns more and more lol 😆
Love the Kreelex and articulating it just made it better👍🏻
that fly is bad ass, gotta try one of those.
It is super solid.
Nice 👍
i love it. thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Slick!

And here I was wondering if I really needed to get shanks and start articulating… time to give the shop my money
When in doubt.....go to the fly shop. 🤣😂
Love it!!
Thanks!
That's a sick color combo! I might tie it in yellow/white and rock it for saltwater fishing. Awesome work, dude.
Like it, been planning on tying my articulated flys with one hook and a shank for the trailer, better for the fish I think
Thanks!
Quick and simple, seems great!
I am usually not a huge fan of such flash-forward flies.....but this is an iconic pattern.
Nice!!!

Nice as always,c
sweet!!!!!!!
I love the kreelex minnow
The articulated version should only fish better.
So much more movement!
If that fly doesn't get it's attention, nothing will. I'd love to try it on redfish and speckled trout here in Louisiana.
Definitely!
So simple yet about 90% uf us are thinking:
WHY DID I NOT THINK OF THAT!!!
Me to.......
Why make the square cuts? Other than that's what the patern calls for
Love the pattern but just one question (might me being brought up with books from Bob Popovics): why do you cut the flash straight and not tapered for better movement?

Flashy
Looks like a super flash fly… it doesn’t put off too much flash?? I’m always concerned about having to much flash. Did I get lead down the wrong path with that concern???
Me too, Bill. The vast majority of the time I am not a fan of overly flash flies....but they definitely have their place.
Hola eh!!!!
Great job 🔥 What wire thickness do you use here ? Thanks
.45mm 👍
Thank you
Just out of curiosity, why did you chose polar flash for the bottom and not kreelex flash like on the top?
Polarflash has a better opposing color that what Kreelex offers.
Hi Brian, sent you an insta re competition😁👍🏻
What species do you target with that type of fly?
All of them. 😎
Like me a kreelex
That generator doesn’t seem to like me
Looking dirty!
It’s nasty
