Absolutely genius to tie off behind the dubbing! I get new ideas from these vids all the time!
I like the way the fly is finished in back of the thorax. That prevents crowding the
eye of the hook. This is a great video. I am off to my fly tying bench to tie up a
supply of these nymphs.
Tight lines and tight loops.

fished this pattern this past weekend on a Pa stream... absolutely dominated. easy to tie and catches a lot of fish!
Great to hear! By any chance, were Blue Winged Olives coming off while you were fishing the WD-40?
Sweet ty👍👍👍! Tight lines🐜🐛🕷️!!!!
I'm a long time subscriber to your videos. Today, I found myself watching a variety of videos on the WD40 and no surprise, enjoyed your presentation the most. I especially like that you narrate clearly, and the video production is in focus. Thanks!
troutbum61 Thank you. Glad you like them.
great pattern.
I tied a few at size 24 and had a great day of fishing at the Kern river. great pattern the fish loved it.
Thanks
If the fish are up top, I like to use them as a dropper off of a dry fly (no weight). When fish are deeper, try fishing them as a dropper off of a weighted nymph. Hope this helps.
very smart tactic.
Your videos are like the zen fly show, I can zone out in your vids and when done puts me in that mood to get right to tying lol..
You sure know how to make tieing small flies easy. I l likethe way the wing case is pulled back away from the eye really helps reduce bulk at the eye.Awsom pattern keep up the good work
Sweet! Tight lines🐛🐜🕷️!!!!!!!
great video, I'm going to tie some of there, nice and simple I like it, thanks again.
Such a simple, yet deadly, fly pattern.
great video. And, I agree, this pattern goes underappreciated. Works great for me. Thank you.
Excellent pattern and instructional video. Thank you
Great tires, came nicely packed in the box, and did not compress czcams.com/users/postUgkx985f3iNjxHFMO6JoE7CSGActiIEyumFx . It fitted my craftsman riding mower just fine. It is a little narrower than my stock tires but so far it has held up and works great. No air leaks and traction was great in my hilly backyard. Installation was good and was not too difficult, highly recommended.
last monday they were, but this past sunday it was mostly size 28 to 30 midges.. great videos!
A excellent demonstration
Great video, I like to tie these with two pieces of crystal flash flared out behind the thorax. Awesome pattern!!!
Just tied some using muskrat mink & gray squirrel they look good
Nice tutorial, keep up the great work....
Nice job
Very nice video!
simple and genius
Three questions. 1#- Do these fish well micro nymph style in deep and shallow water, and how often do you fish them in general? 2#- Can you wrap some fine wire up the body for segmentation? 3#- Can you maybe wrap some small d-rib or micro tubing for a more realistic body?
As I watched your video I realized that my vise isn't a full rotary vice. It turns, but it isn't centered around a point. I can't put my hook in a place and turn it with the shank remaining in the same place.
You had mentioned other colors of thread, would you change the color of the tail/wing case, and thorax dubbing to match the tread?
+The_Real_Wonderbread The dubbing yes I'll change to complement the thread color, but I stick with wood duck for the tail and thorax.
I notice you don't use much dubbing wax to make your dubbing noodles, is just twisting it on good enough to hold it there?
Most of the time, just twisting is enough because you are then going to wrap it around the hook where it will be secured to a greater degree. It's fine to use wax if it works for you, just don't go overboard with the stuff.
Regular old Sally Hansen Hard as Nails almost exclusively.
Usually about 18" to 24"
What do you use to dispense your head cement? Thanks for the video.
What kind of head cement do you use? All of the different kinds I have tried change color and turn white when dry.
would it work to replace the wood duck or mallard with a light colared pheasant tail?
HOW in the world do you see that tiny thing to tie it on ??
Fantastic pattern. I’ve seen you use this particular vice in a few of your videos and as I’m currently in the market to switching my own out for a full rotary, do you mind if I ask what this vice is?
It’s a Dyna King rotary I have the same vise.
@@davids11131113 Thank you
First. Nice tie.
Would adding uv finish to the wing case be a good idea?
+Schuyler Deeney You could, but it would have to be one tiny drop of UV. I do like the kind of shiny, magnified look UV cure resin gives just about any fly.
+tightlinevideo Thank you for the advice!
How long of a dropper do you typically use on a dry dropper rig?
how do you get these little flies down to the right depth?
could you use Pheasant instead of wood duck?
Seriously, how many vices do you guys have?
HI Good fly.
can i tie this fly in tan?
